Corona688,

Tried your command, doesn't work! Checked and CIFS is installed. Has a syntax error.

Not sure what to do next.

Cheers!

Maybe you'll want to fix the syntax error in your CIFS installation???

Don Cragun,

What? Please explain!

Cheers!

How can I explain?

You say you have syntax errors in your Samba configuration. You don't show us your Samba configuration files and you don't tell us what syntax errors you're getting. Therefore, all I can suggest is that you fix your syntax errors and try again.

If you would show us the exact errors that you are seeing and you would show us the files that are generating those errors, we might be able to help you further. Without seeing the actual errors you are receiving and the code/data that is producing those errors, there is absolutely no way that we can guess at what might be wrong!

Don Cragun,


No just issuing the command via cmd line/terminal and does not go! Cmd I'm using is:

Code:

mount -t cifs -o username=$user,password=$pwd //server/shares /media/myshare

According to the "man cifs" help pages this is correct syntax, but not working! Shows errors:

Code:

password specified twice, ignoring second
mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

The specified "password" twice is because the password to this share is actually 'password'


Cheers!

I don't think that's the reason for the message. Try to mount WITHOUT authentication data; it should prompt you, then. I don't have a - huaaa - windows machine around, so I can't test. And, switch the xtrace (-x) option on and post the log.

Hold it! No reason to become snappisch.

In a constructive way, you would READ (and quote) Don Cragun's entire post:

We do even less. So - the ball is in your court!
