I know this has been asked before, and Ive been trying everything theve done and still get no where.

as root doing mount -t smbfs -o username=admin,password=pass //winxp/share /mnt/winxp/share will work fine.

In /etc/fstab/ I put in

//winxp/share /mnt/winxp/share smbfs user=admin,password=pass,rw,user 0 0

root or user cant mount it. I tried leaving everything out but the user=admin and still get the same errors listed below.

Without the password in there it will prompt for password then give this error:

Gentoo ~ # mount //winxp/share
Password:
6769: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed
Gentoo ~ #mount -t smbfs -o username=admin,password=pass //winxp/share /mnt/winxp/share
Gentoo ~ #

Putting it in on the command line works but I need want to be able to mount/unmount from user.

Try editing the fstab line and remove the options after the password. Also are you sure that for fstab the parameter "user=" is correct as opposed to "username="?

Strange.. I origanlly had username= and that was giving me a error saying error on line 14 of /etc/fstab etc... Now it seems to work for root and user. I removed the rw command but left user.

Here how it is now.

//winxp/share /mnt/winxp/share smbfs username=admin,password=pass,user 0 0

Now my problem is I can mount it as my user and have full access, but I cannot umount it. Get a error message saying only root can do that.
