smbmount problem 1

[tg2003]

Hello,

I have a linux RHEL4 machine, trying to mount Windows XP SP2 or W2K shared direcotry.

running the following:
mount -t smbfs -o username=domain/username,password=password //PC-machine/shared_dir /mnt
- or -
smbmont -o username=domain/username,password=password //PC-machine/shared_dir /mnt

give me the same problem: "session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed."

I must say that running the following command works fine:
Smbclient –U domain/username //PC-machine/shared_dir

Where is the problem? on the linux side? the win side? I don't know

Should I configure the /etc/samba/smb.conf? I have no shared on the linux side.

Thanks in advance!!

I may ask also whether I have to join the Windows domain?

I never had this kind of problem, but I used to use the command with the " char and domain[red]\[/red]user:

mount -t smbfs -o username=[red]"[/red]domain[red]\[/red]username[red]"[/red],password=[red]"[/red]password [red]"[/red] //PC-machine/shared_dir /mnt
