Connecting to Solaris from linux machine
 

Hi All,
I am trying to connect to our Solaris servers from my linux machine and need help in gettting there. Let me explain to what I got here.

We have a solaris server where our appilcation servers are ported. I have a login access to it and when I login in I am logged to my home directory there.

I recently got a laptop, installed fedora core 2 on it (its a dual boot with Win XP). In Windows environment I connect to our Solaris servers by mapping network drive \\server\username using samba.

All my scripts are in \\server\username. I would like to connect to this folder from linux just like the way I do it in Windows and would like to automate it such that when I login to Linux I would like a folder mapped to my server\username. Currently I can telnet to server and login from linux. But my work would be easier if I can mount it.

Hope I am clear with my request. Please help me out with this.

Thanks,

firstly you need to install Samba (should come with Fedora) configure it, then you'll be able to mount share using something like:

I ran the code that you gave and this is the error that I got.

1222: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
SMB connection failed

The username and password are right. I double checked by doing a telnet to the server and logging in.
Any ideas?

try it reversed

mount -t smbfs //servername/folder /mountpoint -o username=user,password=pass

i thought the order mattered - the way above always works for me where as the other way doesnt
