Anyone have any experience connecting a linux client to a Windows 2k server? The normal samba command line I used for 9x shares isn't working. Actually should I use samba or just use 2Ks NFS emulation capability?

All you need is smbmount - which distro are you using?

I'd stick with smb personally.

I'm using RedHat 7.2, I typically use the mount command with the -t smbfs option, I'll try just using smbmount.

Yeah I know smbmount is just mount -t smbfs which is why I typically just use mount -t. You know 6 or 1/2 dozen of the other.

Here is the command I use when mounting a drive for backups:

[mcnamara@dogbert /tmp]$ sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=backup,password=backup
//hal/d /tmp/mnt

Works fine for me. Redhat 6.2 w/ some upgrades, kernel 2.4.1 and smbmount version 2.0.6. Having probs with samba 2.2.1a, will updated when I have a moment.

BTW what is you error.

Cut out the sudo and your command is the same format I use Squirrel. I believe my error is an authentication one, I'll get specifics once I get home. Oh btw squirrel you're connecting to a Win 2k server? Is the server in mixed or native mode?

The machine I'm connecting to is running Win2k Pro and sharing drives. When I was actually doing this in a corp environment, I found in helped if you specified the domain in the workgroup option to mount. But, that was connecting to an NT 4.0 server.

I figured out my problme with Samba 2.2.1a. For some reason the mount would fail if smbmnt isn't reachable via your PATH env variable. Placing /usr/sbin (in my case) fixed that problem.
