list smb shares
 

hi guys, i entered this command to list smb shares.

root@serverx:/var/backup# smbclient -L serverx -Uusername -I 192.168.1.16
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

i'm sure i entered a correct root password, but still logon failure.

any ideas?

thanks.

why does a root password is needed here ?

-Uusername then password of username should be provided, the one which you gave while you add the user username.

You need to provide the windows user/password not the linux password if you're trying to view shares from a windows computer. In any case, you need to use a set of credentials accepted by the target computer, not your own machine.
