mount windows share folder failed....

Hi, I used command ’
mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/test /mnt/test -o username=user ’

to mount a share folder in win2003 into local folder '/mnt/test ’
The command run no problem. But I can’t open the share folder from Nautilus. System told something like ‘could not load content,maybe it has been removed’.

I used Suse 11 and Samba has been installed.
Also I can visit the share folder in Nuautilus.

thanks a lot~

When you visit the share folder (not the mount directory, the smb://share_path) in Nautilus net browser mode, can you see the contents that way or are they denied there as well as in the mount directory?

I forgot – another question:
when the remote share is mounted, can you list the contents with:

ls -l /mnt/test

EDIT: an afterthought: IIRC in this syntax it’s user=billybob, not username =billybob

I can see the contents through the way u said.

I can’t list the content with ‘ls ****’.

Syntax like ‘username=’ is ok. And does it have difference between 'user=" and 'username=*’?

I just tried it your way and that works for me with an xp_pro machine.

The failure of “ls -l etc” shows that the service didn’t mount. In win2003, there are special authentication requirements or server-special permissions on the service (special in that they are different from the world-readable shares on xp). For example my Samba is set by default to:

client NTLMv2 auth = No

And if your 2003 is an AD Domain controller, you will have issues like this thread:
