OK, I found a message on the Samba mailing-list that helped. http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs- client/2007-February/001720.html
Using that, I figured out a work-around: # mount.cifs //PurpleComputer/DQFILES /purple/dqfiles/ -o rw,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,gid=dq,credentials=/root/for-PurpleComputer.cred,ip=192.168.15.6,servernetbiosname=PURPLECOMPUTER (success) Having to hard-code the IP address is an annoyance, but in my case it is in fact a static IP address. If it wasn't, I could put the following in a script: mount.cifs //PurpleComputer/DQFILES /purple/dqfiles/ -o rw,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,gid=dq,credentials=/root/for- PurpleComputer.cred,ip=`nmblookup PurpleComputer | grep '<00>' | cut -f 1 -d ' '`,servernetbiosname=PURPLECOMPUTER -- Unable to mount shares from Windows ME https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521397 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
