mount samba share woes

[RabbieBurns]

Ive got samba set up on both my servers, works no problem I can access the shares from all my windows clients.

 

But I cant seem to mount a share from one server on the other..

 

USing the instructions here: Welcome to JustLinux: Wanna learn Linux?

 

I just get an access denied..

 

oasis ~ # mount -t smbfs //192.168.2.4/admin /test1 -o user=robert,password=mypass
20959: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

 

but checking using smbclient works with the same credientials...

 

oasis ~ # smbclient //192.168.2.4/admin -U robert
Password: 
Domain=[ROBERTS] OS=[unix] Server=[samba 3.0.33]
smb: \>

 

Am I missing something?

mount -t cifs //192.168.2.4/admin /test1 -o user=robert,password=mypass

IIRC, you have to pass your credentials like:

 

-o user=robert%mypass

 

It might be 'username', too.

[powdarrmonkey]

Are you running this as root?

 

mount would complain long before a connection failure if he wasn't

[RabbieBurns]

yup, running as root,

 

cifs gives me a

 

mount: unknown filesystem type 'cifs'

 

chaniging user to username gives me

 

ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel
Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page
smbmnt failed: 255

 

which is a problem.

You've already created the target mount point, right?

[RabbieBurns]

yep did that first. I think it must be something wrong with the kernel going by that last errorr

[powdarrmonkey]

I'd check you've got the SMB and CIFS modules set up right, I think the error you're seeing is earlier than actually connecting to the target host.
