Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba
I'm having trouble mounting two directories shared from a Windows ME
computer on the local network. I can mount them fine from Debian Etch
and Windows XP; in the past I've mounted them fine from Ubuntu B, D, G
and H, from Slackware, from earlier versions of Debian and from Windows
Server 2003.
On a computer I recently upgraded to Jaunty, I have the following two
lines in /etc/fstab (after editing in response to a message about
"dmask" and "fmask" being deprecated):
//PurpleComputer/DQFILES /purple/dqfiles cifs
rw,auto,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,gid=dq,noperm,credentials=/root/for-PurpleComputer.cred
0 3
//PurpleComputer/PROGRAMFILES /purple/programfiles cifs
rw,auto,file_mode=0444,dir_mode=0555,noperm,credentials=/root/for-PurpleComputer.cred
0 2
The first share is shared from Windows ME as read-write with a share
password; the second is shared as read-only with no password. "ping
PurpleComputer" and "smbclient -L //PurpleComputer" both work fine.
# mount /purple/programfiles
mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
# mount /purple/dqfiles
mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
# mount | grep /purple
# apt-cache policy smbfs

On another computer I recently performed a fresh install of Intrepid.
Mounting the same share also fails, but with a different error-message:
$ sudo smbmount \\\\PurpleComputer\\DQFILES /purple/dqfiles/ -o
uid=davidl,file_mask=0660
mount error: could not find target server. TCP name PurpleComputer/DQFILES not
found
No ip address specified and hostname not found
I know this sounds like bug 235560, but I've checked /etc/nsswitch.conf
and /etc/samba/smb.conf, and they seem to be appropriate. I am able to
mount a SMB share shared by Debian Etch with Jaunty.
