[Samba] SMB Connection failed

[Abdij Bhat]

Hi,
I get the following error when i try to mount a windows share on my
embedded target

93: session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0
SMB connection failed.

I am using the command

smbmount //win-mac-netbios-name/share-name /mnt/sambashare

Samba then complains about some codepages missing, but moves on and prompts
me the password. I have set no password on the windows machine for the
"guest" account. [I have pasted the smb.conf used in both the server and
client below ( i use the same smb.conf ).]
I leave the password empty and press enter. It then gives the above
mentioned errors.

This was working fine a few weeks ago when we were using the full blown
Red-Hat distribution built for our embedded target (MIPS). Now we have
scaled down the linux to minimal files ( to fit to our flash ) and i beleive
something is missing; which causes the problem.

Can somebody please help me resolve this.

Thanks and Regards,
Abdij

Hello,

as far as I know the command to mount an SMB Filesystem is:
mount -t smbfs -o username=YOURNAME,password=pass //server/sharename/
/folder/pointer

YOURNAME and pass must be an Account on the Windows OS, who has Admin-Rights
On the UNIX Side you need to be root to execute the command

Hope this helps,

Best regards,
Roland

Hi,

First thing u've to do is check the username & password on the windows
machine by which u usually do a login. Try to create same account in ur Samba
machine with same passwd. Login from the new username & passwd. & then try to
give the same command if it asks for the passwd give the same passwd. If it
fails try to do it with "su".

Pranay

Hello,
mount -t smbfs -o username=YOURNAME,password=pass //server/sharename/
/folder/pointer
YOURNAME and pass must be an Account on the Windows OS, who has Admin-Rights

You do not need admin-rights to connect. Just normal read and write (or
whatever it is you do ... :)
