I have installed samba-2.2.2 on a redhat 7.2 box and it works fine, so I installed it on my laptop also. I am getting the error "execvp of smbmnt faild. Error was No such file or directory.smbmnt failed: 1". This version of Samba works fine on my other 7.2 box but I can't get it to work on my laptop. Has anyone else had this error. Preston Newton

For some reason smbmnt isn't in your path on the machine where it doesn't work. Fix the path or copy/symlink smbmnt to where it will be found. smbmount tries to run smbmnt and uses execvp to do that. /Urban
If I do a which smbmnt it comes back
/usr/sbin/smbmnt
So it does seem to be in my path
and I am running version samba-2.2.2 for everything. It was not an
upgrade. I have uninstalled and re-installed a couple of times and still
the same error
