[Samba] cifs-vfs connecting to Netware 6 running cifs.nlm
Hi All, I've got some problems accessing data on a netware server 6.0 running cifs.nlm from a Suse9 linux box. I was origanally trying to access it via smbfs however there were problems with files being truncated when writing and not being read properly. After reading through the archives to this list/newsgroup, I figured I might have better luck with the cifs-vfs module. However it isn't even mounting the filesystem, and is causing bad password attempts to be registered on the netware server. I've taken a trace of the network communication and a couple of things stand out. The trace for the SMB mount has a field in the "session setup ANDX request" packet called "ANSI Password" and "Unicode Password". The trace for the CIFS mount only has a "Unicode Password" field, and the strings are different. Is this the cause of my problem, or am I barking up the wrong tree ? And even if it is (or isn't) where do I go from here ? Thanks for any help.
