mounting windows share

[geese]

I need some help mouonting a windows share.

I tries several variants of this -

mount -t cifs //server/share /home/geese/winshare -o user=username,domain=windomain

but it is not working.
I keep getting the error - mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
I am running openSUSE 11.0.
Can someone help?

Try

smbmount //server/share /home/geese/winshare -o user=username,domain=windomain

Probably a good idea to do this as root.

mount -t smbfs //server/share /home/geese/winshare

Try

smbmount //server/share /home/geese/winshare -o user=username,domain=windomain

Probably a good idea to do this as root.

Yes, done as SU.
bash: smbmount: command not found

mount -t smbfs //server/share /home/geese/winshare

mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'

I have been able to mount the share before with smbmount, but since updating to openSUSE 11.0, I cannot.
Any ieas?

Huh? Both cifs and smbfs are "unknown" or "unsupported" filesystems?

You are missing packages or have an OS issue.

What mount.X scripts do you have?

Example 10.3:

mount.cifs     mount.ncp      mount.ncpfs    mount.nfs      mount.nfs4     mount.ntfs-3g

Is the cifs-mount package installed (not 100% sure it's the same on 11.0):

Yeah, everything is installed. Wait . . . it requires a bloody reboot

I've been trying to get this thing working for over a week and all it needed was a reboot after installing cifs-mount.

Geese.
