Hello, I'm trying to use mount_smbfs -N to get it to read the password from /root/.nsmbrc: # A simple configuration example: # First, define a workgroup. [default] workgroup=datasvr # The 'FSERVER' is an NT server. [datasvr] addr=IP [datasvr:mailbackup:mail_backup] # use persistent password cache for user 'mailbackup' password=$$XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxx workgroup=datasvr Whereas datasvr is the netbios name of the W2K server, mailbackup the username and mail_backup the share in question (just don't ask why I need to backup my "secure" mail server on a 2K box) and the password was made with smbutil crypt. Upon invocation of #mount_smbfs -N -I IP //mailbackup@datasvr/mail_backup /mnt I end up with mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error If I use mount_smbfs -I IP //mailbackup@datasvr/mail_backup /mnt I get prompted for a password and it will work perfectly. However, that's not an option to me as I need to mount the share at boottime. A grep through mount_smbfs.c didn't even find a N option although there might be some case insentivity trickery going on I didn't take into account. So my question boils down to: how can I get mount_smbfs to read the PW from the file? And why doesn't mount_smbfs fail if it is invoked with the -N argument but is unable to read the .nsmbrc file?
