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 appreciate that I'm coming to this thread very late (and I'm no expert in Windows) but I think you'd better tell us all what version of Windows you have. Different Windows versions have different cifs versions (e.g. 1, 2.x, or 3). You have said the Linux is Kubuntu and I don't know what version of cifs that has. However, my point is that if the cifs versions are mis-matched, then they won't talk to each other. You might be able to fix that by specifying a 'vers=' parameter on your command line.

Anybody know how to quiz a Kubuntu box for its cifs version?

hicksd8,


In my original post I did explain I'm on Kubuntu 16.04 trying to reach our Windows 10 shop server for file sharing of quotes, etc.


Cheers!
