Hi,
Just a follow up

Thanks for this. It worked perfectly. I was already using the ip address
rather than the host name, but the -o before each option, as you say, was not
totally intuitive :)
After posting I looked at man mount a little more closely and the
correct syntax for mount options is a comma delimited list - so the
following would also work - according to the manual.
mount -t cifs -o user="User Name",password=mypassword
//10.10.10.10/sharedfs /mnt/cifstest
Cheers

Do you have this working on your system?
If so, I'd appreciate an example.
The following works OK for me:
mount -t cifs -o user="User Name" -o password=mypassword
//10.10.10.10/sharedfs /mnt/cifstest
None obvious things were:
-o required before every option
IP address needed - name resolution did not seem to work with cifs. I
would guess this is because it tries to resolve //SomeName/sharedfs as a
NetBios address but that's just me grabbing a reason out of the air.
Hope it helps.
Mark
