Hi,
I'm having problems accessing windows network share. I have samba emerged and I'm pretty sure I have my kernel built properly to allow it.. Heres relavant part of .config

Code:

localhost linux # cat .config | grep SMB
CONFIG_SMB_FS=y
CONFIG_SMB_NLS_DEFAULT=y
CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE="cp437"


Here is what I'm doing

Code:


localhost linux # mount -t smbfs -o username=amcnamara/xxx //amcnamara-xp/B43 /mnt/win32
Password:
ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel
Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page
smbmnt failed: 255
localhost linux #



I guess it seems like I need some other configurations in my kernel but It looks like I have what I need don't I?

Hope someone can help

You can try to emerge net-fs/mount-cifs. I had a similar problem, but I used cifs not smb.

sorta stumped....BUT...if you reconfigure kernel for CIFS, and then emerge mount-cifs
you should be in bidness, and go a LOT faster. CIFS is the protocol upgrade to SMB, been the standard for 10yrs..

that's how I run my samba (stoopid nfs can't export an ntfs filesystem?)
