Hi --
I was disapointed, at first, to see that smbfs is not in the stock
kernel, then I found this bug report that indicates that it has been
replaced by cifs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116090
Fair enough. I don't mind changing to a different command. However, I
can't get cifs stuff to mount....
Here is a mount command that works perfectly with smbfs:
mount -t smbfs -o username=user/DOMAIN //windowsbox/share
/mnt/windows/windowsbox/share
If I change smbfs to cifs, I get this result:
mount: Connection refused
What am I missing here? Did I screw up the syntax for the mount, or is
cifs not actually a drop-in replacement for smbfs? The machine I'm
trying to connect to is part of an Active Directory realm, but the AD is
in "mixed mode" and I have verified -- by rebuilding the kernel with
smbfs support -- that that command works with the same kernel, same
machine, FC 2 test.
