Hey Folks!
I'm in the process of converting one of my customers over to linux. As part
of the transition, I first converted the ailing Windows ME server to a Linux
Samaba Server. It is working just great. I'm now working on workstations.
I'm having some issues trying to get the linux workstations to connect to
the SMB shares.
The fstab is like so:
//server/share /mnt/share smbfs 0 0
The linux boot-up hangs on the Mount SMB shares line and eventually errors
out on a message about invalid password. Although I have the shares on the
server set up for public access I am still being asked for a password. (I
can access them from a windows workstation without supplying a password.)
When I attempt to do the mount from the command line I am also asked for a
password and no matter what I type I get a message about root is the only
one allowed to mount this share.
I think it might have to do with the rights on smbmnt in /usr/bin/. What
should the rights of the /usr/bin/smb* be? If someone has this working
and can provide me with an ls -al of /usr/bin/smb*
All other suggestions also welcome.
Regards
Russ W
