Thank you for the reply Joe. Which smb.conf files would you want to see? I am trying to mount shares from 2 FreeBSD, 1 RH9 (linux) and 2 Windows servers to a directory structure on my system. To give an idea my mount script is as follows (with some info removed): # Smeagol (FreeBSD Domain Controler/Profile Server) # mount -t smbfs -o username=$user,password=$pass,ro //smeagol/home-dir$ /backup/smb-mounts/smeagol/home-dir mount -t smbfs -o username=$user,password=$pass,ro //smeagol/samba-shares$ /backup/smb-mounts/smeagol/samba-shares # # Aragorn (FreeBSD Dev Server) # mount -t smbfs -o username=$user,password=$pass,ro //aragorn/accounting /backup/smb-mounts/aragorn/accounting mount -t smbfs -o username=$user,password=$pass,ro //aragorn/everyone /backup/smb-mounts/aragorn/everyone mount -t smbfs -o username=$user,password=$pass,ro //aragorn/mysql-data$ /backup/smb-mounts/aragorn/mysql-data mount -t smbfs -o username=$user,password=$pass,ro //aragorn/webroot /backup/smb-mounts/aragorn/webroot # # Boromor (Win2K Dev Server) # mount -t smbfs -o username=$user,password=$pass,ro //boromir/websites /backup/smb-mounts/boromir/websites mount -t smbfs -o username=$user,password=$pass,ro //boromir/wwwroot /backup/smb-mounts/boromir/wwwroot # # Necromancer (Linux JSP/Oracle Server) # mount -t smbfs -o username=$user,password=$pass,ro //necromancer/webroot-tomcat /backup/smb-mounts/necromancer/webroot-tomcat mount -t smbfs -o username=$user,password=$pass,ro //necromancer/oracle$ /backup/smb-mounts/necromancer/oracle # # Saruman (Win2K Exchange Server) # mount -t smbfs -o username=$user,password=$pass,ro //saruman/exchange-backup$ /backup/smb-mounts/saruman/exchange-backup # I can provide smb.conf files if needed for the FreeBSD and linux systems. Also for the local system I am trying to mount these shares too (Sauron). Wasn't exactly sure which smb.conf file you were asking to see :-) Thanks again for replying!!
