Hi everyone...this will mark my first post to linuxquestions.org.
I'm having problems mounting a windows domain share with Linux.
I'm sure other people have had the problem I'm having, but I can't find anything that specifically addresses it and gives a resolution.

Here's the situation:
Slackware (zipslack, 2.4.? kernel) - 10.2
Samba - current as of 2/18/2006
Kerberos 5 (fermilab) installed

I have a small Windows 2003 Active Directory domain called "house.local". It has about 3 computers connected to it (it's my test-bed domain in my apartment). All I'm trying to do is get linux to mount a share on a Windows domain computer.
I don't want linux to be a domain member, I don't want samba to provide ADS authentication or any of that. I just filesharing, that's it.

Similarly, I would like to create a share on my linux computer and connect to it via my Windows computer. But one step at a time...

I've installed Samba and added smbd and nmbd to /etc/rc.d/rc.local so it starts up at bootup

I issue the command: smbmount //wincomp/linux /mnt/share
and I get:
Unknown parameter encountered: "realm"
Ignoring unknown parameter: "realm"
Password:

I didn't put in a username so I'm not sure what password it's asking for. I try my root password and my administrator password windows side but nothing works.
After the "password:" I get:

1945: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (access denied).
SMB connection failed

Now, I'm not totally dense. I can tell samba is not authenticating properly my AD domain.
So I try this:

mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator, password=nullpass //wincomp/linux /mnt/share

and I get the same "session setup failed" error as above.

I've attempted to RTFM and figure this out on my but nothing works. I know I'm missing something very basic but I can't figure out what it is.

Any suggestions or sites that explain this process?
Thanks!

Don't worry about answering my question or even trying to help or anything. I got fed up and scrapped Slackware (zipslack) and went to Damn Small Linux (Debian based). APT isn't as nice as Fedora's YUM, but it beats wandering in the dark trying to compile this crap by hand with Slackware.
