Hi, new to linux, and very new to Gentoo, friend hooked me up.

So, i have a 2003 server, and basically need to share some mp3's and stuff, so i want it to appear in my /mnt/ folder. So i have tried mount: mount //Deyardly/e$ /mnt/Deyardly -t smbfs -o username=Administrator, and also smbmount: smbmount //Deyardly/e$ /mnt/Deyardly/

And both ask for my password, so i know that the connection is there, but when i then enter my password, i get this error:

7456: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

you might need to enable smb signing in your smb.conf can't remember the exact setting check the docs for details

Make sure you are spelling Administrator correclty, it looks like you but then again you might not.

Make sure Administrator is really an administrator. Also make sure you ahve file and print sharing turned on. By default this is turned off in 2003. YOu can goto 'configure my server' and turn it into a file and print server.

Make sure you 2003 box and smb.conf list the same workgroup / domain name.

Double check the Administrator passwords.

You can also greate a normal share and try connecting to it i.e

Hi, i checked, double-checked and checked again

Its not the spelling of Administrator, and not my password i seem to be doing wrond. I am the owner of both systems, so i know for sure that Administrator is in fact an Administrator, and yes, it is configured to be file and printer sharing, since i can connect to it with my Xp, on the laptop.

I have also tried to do a different share than the e$ but this didnt help, just gives me the same error, i tried to nano my smb.conf, but it was blank, i then tried to read the docs, but they didnt really provide me with much help, being the newbie i am, i dont really know what to write where

So if anyone has a .conf on hand i would greatly appreciate it, i think this is the problem?

Is the 2003 server you are trying to communicate with part of a domain?

In your smb.conf you should have at least

there should be a /etc/samba/smb.conf.example just copy/rename that to smb.conf and then edit it for you needs, main the workgroup= part.

The conf is pretty well commented so you shouldn't have a problem doing this. Though if you have any question you can `man smb.conf` and `man samaba` , if you can't figure it out there then try searching to forums for you question. If still no help then feel free to ask

(I am not trying to be an ass here, to trying to instill some good pratices by researhcing your problem first and then ask for help, otherwise you will never learn

)

Hope editing this file helps, if you just wnat to test it tou you could try

you don't need samba running on your linux box

make sure you add workgroup when you mount

I googled this one and came up with info from the link below.

Looks like you need to make sure you have 'smbfs-support' compiled as a kernel option (I'm sure as a module would be fine).
