Mounting Samba share

systix · Apr 24, 2010

Hello,

I have my own ubuntu server running a samba server. I can mount my share on windows systems with no problems, but on my mac
Ubuntu server 9.04
Mac OS X 10.6.3 snowLeopard

I get the following issue:

Code:

Mercury:~ *****$ sudo mount -t smbfs //*****@192.168.1.25/*** ./****
Password:
mount_smbfs: mount error: /Users/****/****: Authentication error

Note: ***'s are where i have removed private information.

My smb config for my share looks like this:

Code:

[****]
        comment = **** filestore
        path = /media/filestore
        browseable = yes
        writable = yes
        read only = no
        guest ok = no
        printable = no

My username and password combination should be correct, it works on windows! The SMB config has set my workgroup to WORKGROUP if that makes any difference?

Samba syslog entry for the above looks like this:

Code:

[2010/04/24 17:58:13,  1] smbd/service.c:676(make_connection_snum)
  create_connection_server_info failed: NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD

Any idea's?

Thanks

I'd try an interactive session with smbclient or try and connect directly from Finder first. If that works you should be able to mount it.

I have experienced some odd problems when using the same user name on Linux and Mac systems and the users have different uids.
