Trouble mounting a Windows share
It seemed like I didn't have Samba or any of the SMB tools installed, so I went to linuxpackages.net and grabbed the package for 10.1.
I installed it with pkgtool, and the install seemed fine. I copied the example smb.conf to the right location, and it all seems to be working, including 'mount -t smbfs ...' (this didn't work before, and I realized I would need to download Samba).
I created a directory called /mnt/smb. I'm trying these 2 commands, to try and mount a directory called 'ebooks' on my Windows machine:
mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.97/ebooks /mnt/smb -o username=myuser,password=mypassword
smbmount //192.168.1.97/ebooks /mnt/smb -o username=myuser,password=mypassword
They both seem to work. When I do an ls of /mnt/smb, the shell just hangs and does nothing. I disabled my Sygate firewall on Windows, but it had no effect. ls just hangs and does nothing, I even tried giving it 5 minutes and went to make coffee, but it was still hanging.
