[mdlug] Mounting a samba share

[Mathew Enders]

I am having a bit of difficulty mounting a samba share.  The share is on
a linux server running samba.  It needs to be a samba share as local
windows clients connect to it.

Here is my /etc/fstab

/dev/md1                /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
/dev/md2                /var                    ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/md0                /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hda2         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hdb4         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
//192.168.1.101/staff /rmt-mnt/gaud-it cifs credentials=/home/ruser/.smbpasswd,uid=ruser,gid=ruser 0 0
//192.168.1.101/staff /rmt-mnt/level-2 cifs credentials=/home/lvl-two/.smbpasswd,uid=lvl-two,gid=lvl-two 0 0

The bottom 2 are the samba share the first one mounts fine and readable
and writable by ruser.  The second one does not mount the reason given
during boot is error 13 opening credentials /home/lvl-two/.smbpasswd

Hers is /etc/mtab after boot.

/dev/md1 / ext3 rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/md2 /var ext3 rw 0 0
/dev/md0 /boot ext3 rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0
sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0
//192.168.1.101/staff /rmt-mnt/gaud-it cifs rw,mand 0 0

Notice the mounted samba share at the bottom.

Here is an ls -AL of ruser home directory showing the credentiels
file .smbpasswd.

drwxr-xr-x 3 ruser ruser 4096 Aug  3 21:31 .nautilus
-rw------- 1 ruser ruser   30 Aug  2 22:10 .smbpasswd
drwx------ 2 ruser ruser 4096 Aug  3 18:58 .ssh

Here is an ls -Al of lvl-two home directory showing the creden tials
file .smbpasswd.

-rw-r--r-- 1 lvl-two lvl-two  876 Aug  3 21:27 .recently-used.xbel
-rw------- 1 lvl-two lvl-two   32 Aug  3 22:04 .smbpasswd
drwx------ 2 lvl-two lvl-two 4096 Aug  3 21:26 .Trash


Thanks for any help in this matter
