Glad this was resolved, but while we're on the subject, I have a question that's been bothering me for a bit. You can mount an SMB filesystem using 'mount -t smbfs', but I can't seem to get the same functionality using fstab. So if I do
$ sudo mount -t smbfs -o ip="xxx.xx.xx.xxx",username="XXXX",password="xxxxxx" //EEB1/EEBWeb /mnt/eeb it works fine. But if I put the following line in /etc/fstab: //EEB1/EEBWeb /mnt/eeb smbfs ip=xxx.xx.xx.xxx,username="XXXX",password="xxxxxx",user,noauto 0 0 then do $ mount /mnt/eeb I just get an error 11927: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed Does anyone know how to make mount and fstab play with SMB? Aaron On Wednesday 06 April 2005 03:00 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | Got it!
