Yes, I have the same problem. Is there another fix then putting Samba 2.0 on? I am using Beta 6.0 and kernel 2.2.1. Hope somone has an answer, as not being able to mount or NT servers is annoying. -----Original Message----- From: Rachel Greenham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at Internet <IMCEACCMAIL-Rachel+20Greenham+20+3Crachel+40epinet+2Eco+2Euk+3E+20at+20Inte [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Internet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, February 09, 1999 8:48 AM Subject: [SuSE Linux] Problems with smbmount - SuSE 6.0 with 2.2.1 > >Eek!
