Hello, I am trying to access some remote Windows 2000 directories via mounting. I can make one kind work but the other I can't. The setup for Windows is described here: http://dss.ais.msu.edu/dialserv.html I try now on my Linux box something similar. 1. mount -t smbfs -o username=myuserID //ntweb5.ais.msu.edu/web /temp does work. 2. mount -t smbfs -o username=myuserID //aisdept.ais.msu.edu/myuserID /temp mount -t smbfs -o username=myuserID //aisdept.ais.msu.edu/myuserID$ /temp mount -t smbfs -o username=myuserID //aisdept.ais.msu.edu/users/myuserID /temp mount -t smbfs -o username=myuserID //aisdept.ais.msu.edu/users/myuserID$ /temp all fail to work. response: Password: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed 3. aisdept is not a domain controller but I would guess ntweb5 isn't either. Both are under the same domain AIS_NT. 4. Here is what the MSCE wrote me: <quote> I doubt that you will be able to perform this mount. aisdept is not a domain controller and thus doesn't handle any authentications itself. As a result remote access is likely unavailable. I am not sure what parameters mount will accept, but you may be able to trick it using: mount -t smbfs -o username=ais_nt\myuserID //ntweb5.ais.msu.edu/web /temp That is worth a try, but I would not be suprised if it doesn't work. </quote> This didn't help with aisdept. This actually breaks my working mount of ntweb5. Thanks, mk

Something like: //aisdept.ais.msu.edu/myuserID\$ /temp Try the workgroup option. mount -t smbfs -o username=myuserID,workgroup=ais_nt ... I don't think smbmount accepts ais_nt\myuserID syntax, setting the workgroup should be the same. myuserID is your "MSU Net ID"? Does it help if you (for testing purposes) give the password on the commandline and not at the prompt? /Urban
