Comment Re:How do I use samba as a client instead of serve (Score 1) 71
I have had my unfair share of problems with the smbfs and smbmount. The smbmount command that don_bailey posted, did not work for me. The only type of command that at least comes as far as asking for a password, but complain about "invalid argument", is as follows:
smbmount //server_name/share_name /mount_point -U user_name -I ip_addr
I also get an error message in the message log that states as follows:
May 26 14:14:50 hrotti kernel: SMBFS: need mount version 6
I am currently running a 2.2.3 kernel, with smbfs as kernel driver, samba-1.9.18p10-3, smbmount version is 2.0.1
While suffering from this problem I have had to resort to the smbclient. Which for me, is not at all a satisfying solution, since I copy files to and from the share allmost constantly during a day.
Does anybody have any comments on what might be wrong with the command ?
