Guest KartheeK Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hello All, I am not able to access my home directory on my "samba PDC" via samba client... I am using Mandriva 2006: The following is my "rpm -qa | grep samba" output: samba-common-3.0.20-3mdk samba-client-3.0.20-3mdk Problem: If I issue the following command: /bin/mount -t smbfs //192.168.100.14/mytest /home/mytest -o username=mytest,uid=mytest Password: ******* I get: 4706: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed However, if I issue, bin/mount -t cifs //192.168.100.14/mytest /home/mytest -o username=mytest,uid=mytest , It Works!!!! Further, I see the following line in /boot/config-2.6.12-12mdk CONFIG_SMB_FS=m CONFIG_SMB_NLS_DEFAULT=y CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE="cp437" Why am I getting errors? Anybody please help.... Thanks KartheeK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest opentux Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I was having the same problem, and solved it by specifying the Windows workgroup in the username argument. E.g., try: mount -t smbfs //192.168.100.14/mytest /home/mytest -o username=mytest/<workgroup>%<pwd>,uid=mytest Regards, opentux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'm wondering if it matters mounting as smbfs or cifs? The end result is, that it works :P Any particular reason why you want it to mount as smbfs and not cifs? At least there's two ways to do the same thing ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
