I am using a Gentoo Linux machine and trying to mount a remote file system via samba. The following DOES WORK: mount -t smbfs -o username="SMB-SRV\stonyy",password=abc123 //smbsrv/proj /mnt/proj However, I don't really want my username and password visible to the world (yes, I changed the password and everything but the backslash in the username for this posting). So I tried putting the following in a file: username="SMB-SRV\stonyy" password=abc123
I then ran the following mount command which does NOT WORK: mount -t smbfs -o credentials=/home/stonyy/credentials //smbsrv/proj /mnt/proj The error message is: 4544: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed Very informative. I have tried several different ways of typing the username and I suspect the problem lies in the backslash in the username, but I don't know how to debug the problem from here. I am using version 2.2.8a. Anyone who has advice, I would like to hear it. In the end, I would like my automounter to mount this for me, but I run into this problem whenever I put the username and password in a file. (I already tried using the automounter with the username and password in the fstab and I ran into the same error) Stony -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
