Connecting RHEL 3 to Windows 2003 Share?
 
Hello,
I am attempting to connect RHEL3 to a Windows Server 2003 Shared drive.
I am able to mount the shared drive, however when I run ls to view the drive I receive the error: Stale NFS File Handle

Steps I have taken so far:

mount //server-name/S /mnt/share, mount is ok same error as above
#smbmount // server-name/S /mnt/share, mount is ok same error as above
# mount -t smbfs -o username=<name>,password=pw //netboisname/sharename /mountpoint

When typing the above (with the correct username and password inserted) I am getting this on the screen: and the mount is not successful.

Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems
mount -l : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
mount device : mount device at the known place
mount directory : mount known device here
mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
mount --move olddir newdir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options].
For many more details, say man 8 mount .[/SIZE][/SIZE]

Lastly I have gone into the Windows 2003 server under the Default Domain policy, Security, Local policy settings, and disabled Network – Digitally sign communications, and digitally sign communication if the client agrees

Any ideas would be appreciated,
Thank you

Hi,

Try cifs instead of smbfs, as follows:-
Code:

mount -t cifs -o username=<name>,password=pw //netboisname/sharename /mountpoint
If this is to be remounted on startup, you can add it to /etc/fstab like this:-
Code:

//netboisname/sharename    /mountpoint          cifs    _netdev,credentials=/etc/samba/cred.txt 0 0
The file /etc/samba/cred.txt is a simple text file with 600 permissions and owned by root. The content looks like this:-
Code:

username=your_name
password=your_password
