Make sure the user you are connecting to the XP machine as has network file server permissions (as opposed to local file permissions) in that directory to read and write. Make sure none of your active logins are in a directory under the smb mount point. Use 'lsof' to see if any process is using a file under that mount point. Does the XP machine authenticate to the Samba machine? >>> dcoats at heritagemail.org 04/15/03 08:49AM >>> Now It seems to mount correctly without crashing my file server but it is unusable. If I try to save anything into it it tells me that the directory is full. If I try to ls the directory it tells me that permission is denied. When I view the active partitions it shows up there with the correct hard drive space so I know it is actually finding the client machine. I can not unmount it smbumount. It tells me that permission is denied for that too. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
