SMbmount works, but mount samba shares from fstab doesn't. When I run 'mount -a', I get -

19857: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
SMB connection failed

This exact setup works fine on another system, I've no idea why it fails here.

Any ideas? I've looked around, but to no avail.

Thanks, Dana

*** Here's the fstab -->

//deathvalley/7200wdcav80 /mnt/dv_7200wdcav80 smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/auth.deathvalley.danahata 0 0
//deathvalley/maxtor160 /mnt/dv_maxtor160 smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/auth.deathvalley.danahata 0 0

*** /etc/samba/auth.deathvalley.danahata -->
username=myusername
password=mypwd

*** Here's the smb.conf for "deathvalley" -->

# Global parameters

netbios name = DEATHVALLEY
server string = Deathvalley
encrypt passwords = Yes
[homes]

[dv_maxtor160]

I changed the credentials line in fstab, and replaced it with username=xxx,password=xxx, and now it orks. Don't know why the credentials file broke it, it works on another machine.

Anyone know why?
