Hi,
sorry for not having been clear what I meant.
The situation before (as we know it):
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t cifs -o username=user,password=pass //192.168.0.199/admin /mnt
mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
After studying the man page, as suggested in the printout, I found the section I posted yesterday.
So I tried the following:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t cifs -o username=user,password=pass,sec=ntlm //192.168.0.199/admin /mnt
No error printout. And the mount did not fail silently either:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# ls /mnt
Laptop Netbook Tower
When trying the same with explicitely giving the new value mentioned in the man page, I get the same problem as before:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t cifs -o username=user,password=pass,sec=ntlmssp //192.168.0.199/admin /mnt
mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
As for your other request, alll of the above printouts were done with Fedora 18, so it works there as well.
In summary, either the ntlmssp security option is not working with the Samba server I have on my NAS, or it not working, period.
Hope it is clear now.
