I'm trying to mount a share from an NT machine which has an space inside, i.e doing something like that: mount -t smbfs -o username=nardmann,password=xxx "//machine/for internal use" internal_use I always get the message Could not resolve mount point internal How do I mount such shares with whitespace inside the share name? -- Heiko Nardmann (Dipl.-Ing.), h.nardmann@secunet.de, Software Development secunet Security Networks AG - Sicherheit in Netzwerken (www.secunet.de), Weidenauer Str. 223-225, D-57076 Siegen Tel. : +49 271 48950-13, Fax : +49 271 48950-50

A quick look suggests that smbmount should handle spaces just fine. Downloading util-linux source...done. Eyeballing mount.c...done. The source is a bit convoluted. Inconclusive. Compiling with -g...done. Running gud-mode...oops, no debugging symbols. Relinking because stupid makefile links with -s...done. Single-stepping...done. Seems to work fine. I should have saved myself some effort and just tried the whole thing sans source, sans debugger, sans everything. I must conclude that you are using a different version of smbmount and/or util-linux than I am. I have the Debian-packaged util-linux 2.10f and smbfs 2.0.7. Peter
