[Samba] Can't mount Samba share on Linux box, Windows clients OK
Hi all. I've got most of the Samba config dialed in yet I still cannot get printing or file sharing going from my main desktop (Debian Sarge). Here's what I tried: root@PlanetExpress:/home/bax# mount -t smbfs -o username=planetexpress,password=tigerlily //printserver/homes /mnt/Samba Unknown parameter encountered: "passdb backend" Ignoring unknown parameter "passdb backend" Any ideas? Printing from CUPS on my Linux box to the Samba box doesn't work either. I hope it's something small or stupid because the Windows clients are running just fine. I appreciate any ideas/comments/ridicule anyone might offer. Baxter Sgt USMC

Should I just add the Linux box as a machine account rahter than a user account? Thanks!
