Hi all

I work with Red hat 7.3 on a win nt domain, I am trying to connect to a file server ( win 2000 ) ans recive the following message:

[root@juanlinux root]# mount -t smbfs -o username=juan/sarelil,password=vard9999 //eis/users /root
execvp of smbmnt failed. Error was No such file or directory.smbmnt failed: 1

what is wrong

thanks.

Well it says it can't find smbmnt. Do you have it installed? A 'whereis smbmnt' or 'locate smbmnt' should tell you more.

This is also something that the man page of smbmount says:

NOTE: smbmount calls smbmnt(8) to do the actual mount. You
must make sure that smbmnt is in the path so that it can
be found.

here is what I recived:
[root@juanlinux root]# whereis smbmnt
smbmnt: /usr/sbin/smbmnt /usr/share/man/man8/smbmnt.8.gz

thanks
