I am trying to get a Fedora Core 4 server to connect to a share on a workstation under Windows 2000 domain ADS. (Workstation share is temporary as it will be connecting to another server joined to the domain in the near future).

I have tried the following;

smbmount //ipaddress/share /mountpoint -o username=username


With smbmount, I get prompted for a password and I enter the password.

I type in my password for my username (domain account) and I get the following error message.
"2679: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed"

Mind you everyone has full access to this share.

By the way, the Linux server is not joined to the domain.

Now, if I create a local account on the workstation with the share and use that username and password it mounts.

So the problem is what options do I need to pass in order to use a domain account for authenticating?

Try :

mount -t smbfs -o rw,username=$USR,password=$PASS,workgroup=$GRP //$SVR/$SHR $MNTPOINT

Just did, and got

1073: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

Try mounting again after disabling firewall as root :

# /etc/init.d/iptables stop

No firewall running/installed. I can mount a share on my laptop that is not on the domain.

Got it figured out.

I used smbmount //ipaddress/sharename /mountpoint -o username=domain//username

Then I get prompted for the password, I type in my domain password and I get connected.

You can close this thread now.
