Samba > Trouble mounting remote NTFS share

Harlin · 06-20-2005, 03:46 PM

I am trying to mount a remote NTFS share. I use the following command:
<pre>
mount -t smbfs -o user=mikde89,pass=gingo55 //srt-main1/G$ srt-main1.g$
</pre>

When I do this, I receive the following error:
<pre>
cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it.
409: protocol negotiation failed
SMB connection failed
</pre>

I inserted the following in my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:
<pre>
client signing = Yes
</pre>

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance...

Last time I tried SMB signing with Samba it didn't work properly, i'ts been quite a while though.

I talked with a fellow in IRC (moonie on irc.freenode.net #mandriva) and he mentioned to me that when trying to mount a volume from a Windows 2003 AD machine, smb won't work. Can anyone confirm this? So far this is the best explanation I've found.

Thanks,

You might be able to use the cifs driver, the smbfs driver isn't being maintained anymore.

How would I use cifs driver in this case? Just do -t cifs ?

Yes. The parameters are a little different, the man page for mount.cifs should explain them.

Here's how to do it:

<pre>
# mount -t cifs -o user=<Username>,pass=<P@ssw0rd> //<MachineName>/<ShareName> /mnt/<mountpoint>
</pre>

Works fine for me.
