[PLUG] More SAMBA fun


Another Frankenputer, another distro, another Samba problem. Joy.

OK, here's the deal. I put together a new PC + loaded gOS (Ubuntu-based), as it appears to be a good choice for a lower-end PC. So far, so good- it detected all my printers, my scanner, etc., + the performance is fine. The problem is that I can't get it to mount my linux server's Samba shares.

I'm about 99.9% sure that the problem is not on the server, since I can still access the shares from my Windows + OS X boxen. But I can't mount them from the new linux box. Note: I am able to print to the CUPS printers, shared off the same server, perfectly well from the new PC.

Here's the command I run to make the mount. This is the same command that I previously used to mount from Freespire (another Ubuntu-based distro) + Mandriva:

sudo mount -t smbfs //calvin/adam /media/adam -o uid=adam,gid=users

Here's the response:

9740: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

The number at the beginning of this line is different every time I run the command.

Here's the really odd part: I can access this particular share via smbclient:

smbclient //calvin/adam -U adam

Thoughts?

"O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose, not only the tyranny, but the tyrant, stand forth! Every spot of the old world is overrun with oppression. Freedom hath been hunted round the globe. Asia, and Africa, have long expelled her--Europe regards her like a stranger, and England hath given her warning to depart. O! receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind." * Thomas Paine
