Samba share

**sdousley** · 02-29-2004

I am trying to access a samba share on my webserver so i can edit files on my computer. How is this done? I have setup the samba server to only allow one user (me) to access it. Now, i wanna mount this share on my pc at login, how is this done? I have added an extra line in my fstab saying:

Code:

//server1/webserver  /mnt/server          smbfs      defaults,rw,user=root 0 0

But when i try to mount it as root it sez:

Code:

2620&#58; session setup failed&#58; ERRSRV - ERRbadpw &#40;Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.&#41;
SMB connection failed

Anyone know what's wrong?

You need to add your workgroup, username and password like so

//192.168.0.1/home /mnt/home smbfs workgroup=MY_WORKGROUP,username=my_username,passwo rd=my_password,user 0 0

THANK YOU GIRO!!!!!!
I have been fighting with this FOREVER!!!
I didn't know there was a workgroup option.
now I can finally automount this stuff at startup

This still doesn't work. I (for some reason) can't even acceses the share through samba now!
