samba - Feb 2001 - remote win2k shares

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

aisdept is not a domain controller but I would guess ntweb5 isn't either.
Both
are under the same domain AIS_NT.

Here is what the MSCE wrote me:

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.

This didn't help with aisdept. This actually breaks my working mount of
ntweb5.


Thanks,

Maybe they allow access to anyone ...

I think you need to escape the $, but I could be wrong. 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?
