I really need a hand here. I'm running Red Hat 9.0 and recently got the Up2Date certificates updated such that I finally got all of the updates from Red Hat. I run the publishers addition of Red Hat. Prior to the change, I used to mount an SMB share really easily with a simple shell script than went #!/bin/bash smbmount //Server/share /mnt/point -o dmask=777,fmask=777 But after I finally got Up2date working and downloaded the latest updates this script requires the exact IP of the server I'm looking to connect to with the following addition to the script -o ip=[num]. I can connect this way but what a nightmare! Does anyone know what changed and how I can get things back the way they were? I do notice the following when I run the scripts in debug mode without the specific IP address appended: tbd_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/unexpected.tbd I checked that directory and there are indeed no files in it. It's permissions are 755. I also checked the lmhosts file and it's permissions are 755 as well, with no servers other than this linux machine itself listed. Any ideas? Thanks!
