Operating Systems AIX Unable to share win folder in AIX Post 302505755 by kah00na on Thursday 17th of March 2011 04:58:56 PM

Do you have these filesets installed?
Code:
hostname:/:$ lslpp -L | grep -i cifs
  bos.cifs_fs.rte            7.1.0.0    C     F    Runtime for SMBFS
  bos.cifs_fs.smit           7.1.0.0    C     F    SMIT Interface for SMBFS
hostname:/:$

Also, samba only lets you mount the share itself. You cannot map subdirectories in Windows share. If they share on the Windows box is "Win_share_folder", then that is what you have to mount. I map Windows shares on my AIX boxes and the syntax you are using is the same that I use. Here is the example command I modify when mapping Windows shares.
Code:
mount -v cifs -n rmt_hostname/rmt_user/rmte_password /rmt_share /mnt/windows

Also, if the Windows user account is a domain account the "-o wrkgrp=domain" has to be specified in the command. If you are authenticating with a local Windows account (versus a domain account), the option is not required.

NAME
yptest - test NIS configuration SYNOPSYS
yptest [-q] [-d domain] [-h host] [-m map] [-u user] DESCRIPTION
yptest calls various NIS functions to check if the NIS configuration is correct and works as expected. OPTIONS
-q Be quiet, don't print messages -d domainname Specify a domain other than the default domain as returned by domainname(1). This option is not supported by all tests. -h hostname Query ypserv on hostname instead of the currently used one. This option is not supported by all tests. -m map Use the map map for the tests instead of passwd.byname. This option should be used if the default map does not exist. -u user Use the account user instead of nobody. This option should be used if the nobody account does not exist in the map used for testing (passwd.byname or the one given with the -m option). SEE ALSO
domainname(8), ypbind(8), ypcat(8), ypmatch(1), ypserv(8), yppoll(8), ypwhich(1) AUTHOR
yptest is part of the yp-tools package, which was written by Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>. YP Tools 2.9 May 2002 yptest(8)
