Mounting Smbfs

[mrbisme33]

I'm running cacko 1.23 on a C1000.  I've tried installing a few different smbmount packages but can't get it to actually mount anything.  I'm familiar with how smbmount should work, but I keep getting invalid argument error messages.  Does anybody know where I can find a version of smbmount that works, it's dependencies, and any quircks that might be involved in installing?  

Thanks,
John

John,

don't forget the -o options.  They may help.

smbmount //box/share /mount/point/ -o username=YouUserName password=YourPassword

Thanks, I didn't try using smbmount... I was attempting mount -t smbfs, which, of course, doesn't work with cacko.

Just tried this and got:  Unrecognised characterset 866

Am I missing a dependency?

I get that too, however, it still mounts.  It seems to me that the smbmount included in the distro has that problem.

Unfortunately this is not the case.  It just sits there and doesnt work :-(

i did smbmount //192.168.0.5/open /mnt/smbfs

The smbfs dir exists and the open share on my samba server is as it says ie open/public.

User name and password?


Here's what I type,

smbmount //192.168.2.2/Files/ /mnt/net -o username=blah,password=blahblah

and it does do the unrecognized character set 866 but if I do a df -h I get,

Don't forget there isn't a space between the username and password, just a comma.

Also ensure that you're mounting as root, although if you're not having any sudo errors, you're probably already root

Right,

I put my smbmount in /mnt so I had to be root to begin with to get write permissions.  I also was root when I did do the mount.  It does work.  I'm not sure if the password option is really needed since after I get the code page errors, I still have to put my password in again.

Good Luck,
