[Samba] Why does fstab fail when command line mount works?
Okay; I'm stumped. My old boss just asked me a question, and I thought I had an easy answer, but nooooooooo. I also apologize if this has been hashed out, but I'm unable to find the answers after several pages of Google hits. Anyway, if I try to do this: mount -t smbfs -o username=kend,password=blah,workgroup=xanoptix //freedom/kend /mnt/smb/ from the command line, it works fine. [Sorry for the wrappage.] However, if I plug what appears to be the complementary info into fstab, thusly: //freedom/kend /mnt/smb smbfs user=kend,password=blah,domain=xanoptix 0 0 it dies horribly with the following: # mount -a 16731: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) SMB connection failed Am I missing something really obvious, here? Thanks, Ken D'Ambrosio Sr. SysAdmin, Xanoptix, Inc.

[Samba] Why does fstab fail when command line mount works?
I suspect this is something to do with the kernel not being aware of smbfs as a kernel FS (check /proc/filesystems) , you could try putting your mount string in rc.local instead perhaps...
