Hello, maybe its not a 100% Samba related question, but I guess this is the best place to ask. We are running a couple of WIndows 2003 Server at several locations. With a Linux client box running kernel 2.6.x everything works fine, with some older boxes running SuSE 9.0 (Kernel 2.4.21) it doesnt work: SMBCLIENT is working: database:~ # smbclient -L 192.168.90.5 -U backup Password: Domain=[ba-usa] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- faxclient Disk Microsoft Shared Fax Clients tsweb Disk E$ Disk Default share clients Disk Windows Small Business Server [...] [2] using "mount -cifs" is not working: database:~ # mount -t cifs //192.168.90.5/Data /mnt/data -o user=backup,pass=XX,dom=BA-USA mount error 22 = Invalid argument Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) [3] using "mount -t smbfs" creates a funny problem: database:~ # mount -t smbfs -o lfs,fmask=0666,dmask=0777,username=backup,password=X //192.168.90.5/Data /mnt/data database:~ # mount | grep data //192.168.90.5/Data on /mnt/data type smbfs (0) database:~ # ls -als /mnt/data /bin/ls: /mnt/data: Permission denied Somehow I cant access it. I am using Samba 3.0.11 on all machines, I disabled "SERVER DIGITIAL SIGN (always) on the WIndows 2003 Server) On a Linux Box running 2.6.10 it works fine, so maybe a Kernel issue ? cu stonki -- www.stonki.de: the more I see, the more I know....... www.proftpd.de: Deutsche ProFTPD Dokumentation www.krename.net: Der Batch Renamer f?r KDE www.kbarcode.net: Die Barcode Solution f?r KDE
