Greetings, mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxxxxx,password=xxxxxx //CHADWIN/hotshare /home/chadley/hotshare/ works just fine, but only root can read and write to the share. I have added a variety of different lines to the fstab and smbfstab. I have also switch off my firewall, yet I get the same error every time I try. Does anyone here know why I can't automount this share? ======================================================================== chadlap:/home/chadley # rcsmbfs start Mount SMB/ CIFS File Systems from /etc/samba/smbfstab //chadwin/hotshare on /home/chadley/hotshare type smbfs .Password: ...failed Error: timeout while mount. ========================================================================= chadlap:/home/chadley # mount hotshare/ mount: special device //chadwin/hotshare does not exist ========================================================================= TIA Chadley
