Slackware mount network drive
by johnmeehan from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4QCK8)
I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I am trying to mount a network drive in Slack and cannot get it to work. My share is set up as [user_share] with user user_share being the only valid user. I also have the standard [public] share.
The computer is named Reclaimed (which shows up in Windows 7 as Reclaimed).
I am trying to mount to a directory called usb1 in root's directory.
I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MOUNT
I have used the following as root:
mount -t cifs //Reclaimed/user_share /usb1 -o username=user_share,password=my password
mount -t cifs //ipaddress/user_share /usb1 -o username=user_share,password=my password
When I type mount to check if it mounted nothing shows. When I cd to usb1 and type ls no files show.
I have also tried using root as username and the root password for password still without success.
Everything I have read says the above should work but it does not work for me.
Is there something I need in the smb.conf that I have overlooked? I used the default config file adding the following to get it to work also with Windows XP as wall as 7 which it does.
server max protocol = NT1
lanman auth = yes
ntlm auth = yes
wins support = yes
All other settings, except for hosts allow, are set to the defaults of the config file except for the shares themselves.
Server string is Samba Server
Everything I have read, as stated earlier tells me that the command I entered should work, but it does not.
