Dear All, (Context: Office windows LAN; PC Pentium 3 with 128 MB, FreeBSD 5.3.) Here you are the unanswered message I sent to the FreeBSD mailing list: \BEGIN{MESSAGE} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After installing and launching samba 3.0.7 daemons under my postgresql FBSD5.3 stable server at office, I'm having trouble in connecting

Thanks to Will Saxon I'm finally able to mount Samba shares on my 5.1-R box using the command mount_smbfs -I 129.197.36.34 -W acct01 //bfosdick@129.197.36.34/net-11 /sp/net-11 which then prompts me for my password. So now the question is...how do I put this in /etc/fstab? What do I do about the password?

...path = /nfs/share guest ok = yes writeable = yes I then added a user with smbpasswd named eil. Now on the FreeBSD machine, I made sure to enable the correct options in the kernel config file and rebuilt whatever needed rebuilding followed by a reboot. I created the following /root/.nsmbrc so that FreeBSD could mount the share at runtime without it prompting for a password. [default] nbns=192.168.0.3 workgroup=EILNET [powerface:eil:smbshare] addr=192.168.0.3 password=<pass> Next I added the line for /etc/fstab: //eil@POWERFACE/smbshare /home/eil/share smbfs rw,noauto...

...roblem, but I can't get mount_smbfs to work. No matter what I try I get authentication errors. One of the things I've noticed is that it can't find any of the computers using their netbios names, only ip addresses work. I can't seem to get mount_smbfs to use any of the options in ~/.nsmbrc either. Are there any known problems with the mount_smbfs in 5.1? help? All of the win2k boxes can see shares on the FBSD box as well as the Sun box. I don't have admin access to the Sun box and I only have admin on one win2k box. Using smbclient looks like: 8:27 bfoz@~#smbclient \\\\129.197...

Hello, I've got a FreeBSD 5.5 box running Samba 3.0.21 and every-time I try to do a "mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password // server/share /mnt/folder" I get the error "smbfs: -o username=: option not supported". I've google'd this with no luck... any help in the right direction is appreciated. --- Jason Zondor
