I have this: mount -t smbfs -o username=rharris,rw,uid=rharris,gid=500,fmask=640,dmask=750 \ //fileserver.lsv.raindance.com/departments +/wmnt/fileserver/departments (all on one line though, the backslash in for readability) When I run that I get this: INFO: Debug class all level = 2 (pid 24219 from pid 24219) can't determine netmask for 127. added interface ip=10.10.117.230 bcast=10.10.117.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 24219: session request to FILESERVER.LSV.RAIN failed (Called name not present) Password: 24219: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed A coworker changes the uid and username, it works perfectly for him. I have domain administrator privledges on the fileserver. :wq! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert L.
