Lunix smbmount to windows 2003

[pilg]

Hi,

I am really really new to linux and I am trying to mount a share from a redhat fedora box to windows 2003 server I manage to mount the share fine using:
mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password //server/share /mount/point

It mounts without errors but when I try to do an ls within the /mount/point I get a permission denied error. When I try to view the permissions on the /mount/point they look like:

?----------- ? ? ? ? ? mountpoint

Have microsoft done something to stop this...? I'm totally confused. Please help.

Pilg.

you should use
mount -t cifs //server/share /mountpoint -o username=USER,password=PASS
