SMBFS mounting

OperatorOne · #1 15th June 2006, 12:10 AM

unfortunately, we have a few Redhat server here that do not use the CIFS filetype, so I need to be able to mount shares on this machine using the smbfs type. Wen I execute the command...

Code:

mount -t smbfs -o username=me,password=pass,domain=DOMAIN //IPSOURCE/SHARE /FOLDERTOMOUNTTO/ -rw

I get an error telling me SMB signing is not enabled and it fails. any ideas?

Cheers.

It's probably worth pointing out that is I am using my notebook, I can mount this share with the CIFS filetpye just fine. So there's some issue with SMBFS specifically.

As far as I know, FC5 no longer supports smbfs. So I am surprised that you got that message, instead of something like "unrecognised filesystem type."

I recieved that message on the Redhat Enterprise 3 system. It works fine on my FC5 system, using CIFS, but not smbfs, which FC5 does not recognize.

replace smbfs with cifs

Maybe removing the "domain" bit?

This was the original post and as you can see, it's not possible to simply replace smbfs with cifs.

cheers.
