Hello, Can someone point me to a definitive howto on cifs mounts on Suse/Linux. (using 9.1, 9.3, 10.0) In /etc/fstab, I have something similar below; <snip> //windows_server/smbshare /mnt/smb_dir cifs workgroup=our_group,password=xxxx,fmask=777,dmask=777,,username=someone 0 0 <snip> Whenever I try to mount it I get the following errors; WARNING: 'fmask' not expressed in octal. WARNING: CIFS mount option 'fmask' is deprecated. Use 'file_mode' instead. WARNING: 'dmask' not expressed in octal. WARNING: CIFS mount option 'dmask' is deprecated. Use 'dir_mode' instead. ... and from /var/log/messages; Jun 29 17:02:38 server-1 kernel: CIFS: Unknown mount option fmask Jun 29 17:02:38 server-1 kernel: CIFS: Unknown mount option dmask I'd like to use /etc/samba/smbfstab with credentials, but I seem to mung that up to the point that I can't mount the smbmounts. Any and all help is most welcome. The man page isn't helping or, more than likely, I am missing something.
