Eek! Suddenly I find I can't mount our NT servers! OK, I had the Samba 1.9-something as installed from SuSE 6.0, and I'm running kernel 2.2.1. I can print fine to a Samba printer (except from Word Perfect but that's another story), and I can log on using smbclient. But attempting to mount NT shares fails, with "Invalid argument". The exact same smbmount command on the system rebooted with SuSE 2.0.36 works fine. I tried upgrading to Samba 2.0 (2.0.0 as there's a SuSE rpm available for it, but smbmount itself reports version 2.0.2) but it made no difference. I tried taking SMB support out of the 2.2.1 kernel, and making it available as a module - with the module not loaded I get, unsurprisingly "Operation not supported by device", then I insmod it and as before, "Invalid argument". Username/password definitely correct, by the way. And no difference no matter how pedantic I get with the other options. Now, another mystery: I tried downloading and installing Samba 2.0.0 before, when I was still on SuSE 6.0 beta. That time I did a make-and-install rather than from an rpm, (and never did finish installing eg: man pages which were also very different) and the smbmount I got was *completely* different - different syntax, different man pages etc. (eg: instead of smbmount //<server>/<service> <mount-point> -U <smbusername> -P <smbpassword> -u <username> it was smbmount "\\\\<server>\\<service>" <smbpassword> -c 'mount <mount-point> -u <username>' Very odd, but it worked (except that it didn't keep the sessions alive). But now, when I've reinstalled this 2.0.0, it's just as it was before.
