... Hi
Yes, the SMB client is not 100% functional in this release (Fedora Core 2).
However
Go Start -> Browse Filesystem in there File -> Connect to server
you will be asked for the Name and the URL of your share
Enter the Name you want,as URL type something like
smb://windowsservername/sharename
you get an icon on Desktop, when you click it you will be promted for username and password.
when i try to mount with that cifs thing told me at
http://www.fedorafaq.org/
i get an error msg that share could not be found
("mount error: could not find target server. TCP name ovoda/a not found rc = 9")
i ty mount or smbmount i get "Could not resolve mount point"
this command will display available the share names
smbclient -U yournetusername -L yournetserver
even if you mount a smbfs , the browse will hang if you try to browse the link.
To Update smbclient, goto
http://www.samba.org/
Download the binaries (rpm-s) related to FC2 and samba and install them
rpm -Uvh samba-client*.rpm (may have dependencies)
create a directory in /mnt/ (best with your share name) then
mount -t smbfs -o username=yournetusernname //yournetserver/yournetshare /mnt/yournewdir
... i hope it works now
Thank you .....
If i could get OFP to run under wine, i would delete my Win2k !!! LINUX ROCKS
