Troubles Mounting Smb Share

hi, first of all I am pretty new to the linux community, i've just installed Suse 10.3 and KDE Desktop.

I am trying to mount a samba share on this machine, which i have tried with the following commands lines in the /etc/fstab:
//192.168.0.2/multimedia /home/LippiVan/multimedia cifs username=myname,user,rw 0 0
this didn't work, i get an error with (Berechtigungen verweigert)
the same thing happens with this line
//192.168.0.2/multimedia /home/LippiVan/multimedia cifs username=netuser,password=hiddenword,_netdev,uid=a _user_name,gid=users 0 0

interestingly i do get access to the folder when i mount it in the console with this command:
mount -t cifs -o username=netuser,password=hiddenword //192.168.0.2 /multimedia /LippiVan/multimedia

anyway, this is not an option for me, because i don't want to manualy mount the smb drive everytime i boot up the machine.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, welcome to the Forum
try this in fstab:
//192.168.0.2/multimedia /home/LippiVan/multimedia cifs username=the_owner_on_the_server,password=the_owne rs_password_on_the_server,_netdev,uid=LippiVan,gid =users 0 0

I think LippiVan is added to the Samba User database on the client (won't hurt, can't quite remember if necessary, at work ATM)

Then check the server is sharing correctly. But it should at least mount if this worked in a cli:
mount -t cifs -o username=server_username,password=server_password //192.168.0.2/multimedia /home/LippiVan/multimedia

thanx for you answer, I changed the line in the fstab, still i doens't work. i don't get access to my shares.

any other ideas what i can do?

thanx a lot,

Philip

finally it seems to be working.

i startet KDE as root for one time, which made the shares available.

thanx for your help,
