hi there

it was offered to me, to use linux in the company im working for

so i did it, but now to my problem with samba

a domain is used, the dc and the server is a windows 2003 machine, so i need to connect to the ms network

so i want to mount some directories on the server and tried the following

smbmount //server/home/usr /windows/home -o username=usr,password=pwd,workgroup=domain,uid=xxx,gid=xxx,debug=4

when using this command following error is returned

added interface ip='myip' bcast='bcastip' nmask=255.255.255.0
resolve_lmhosts: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name 'server'<0x20>
getlmhostsent: lmhost entry: 127.0.0.1 localhost
resolve_hosts: Attempting host lookup for name 'server'<0x20>
Connecting to serverip at port 139
5022: session request ok
5022: session setup ok
5022: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

as guest i can connect but have no ntfs based rights on that directory
i was also able to connect with kde without any problem, with my username 'usr' and my password 'pwd'

[global]
workgroup = domain
os level = 2
time server = Yes

thx in advance

I not sure I understand what your doing but if your trying to mount a win 2000 server from
a linux client they you smbmount command would look somthing like this

smbmount //winserver/share_dircetory /mnt/server

"winserver" = the name of the server
share_directory = the path to it
"/mnt/server" = a mount piont "server bieing a folder you make for this.

I looks to me you have your coomand backword.

if your doing what I said.

no the command is right, i just written it that its easy to misunderstand

on our server we have a folder called home in which the folders of every user are located

in my case it would be //windowsserver/home/mb

the mounting point i put 1st in /windows/home
this wasnt working
so i tried the mounting point /mnt/windows
but this also isnt working (same error message)

the strage thing is, like i said, i can connect to the share using konqueror, i also can connect to the windowsserver using the smbmount command as user 'guest' but this user has no ntfs based rights on the windows machine
i also tried it with other user accounts, the result was the same errormessage as before

i guess it has something todo with samba (version 2) itself, the exact version i dont know at the moment, cause im not at work.

I use the:
mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxx,password=xxxxx //IP or Netbios name/share /mount/point

i also used this command with the same result as above

in the meantime i was able to look up the exact version: 2.28a

i also tried to mount the windowsshare with a credentialsfile and also /etc/fstab with and without credentialsfile

the error stays the same

/etc/sysconfig/@SELINUX


SELINUX = disabled







Good luck!!!!
