I know, it's been a while, and Lenny has since moved from 2.6.24 to 2.6.26. Samba probably has changed a lot as well. However, this problem persists...
Here's what I tried to do and the outcome: in1: mount -t cifs //server/share /home/amitf/mount_point -o username=amitf%mypassword out1: mount error 5 = Input/output error, Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) in2: mount -t smbfs //server/share /home/amitf/mount_point -o username=amitf%mypassword out2: mount error 5 = Input/output error, Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) in3: smbmount //server/share /home/amitf/mount_point -o username=amitf%mypassword out3: mount error 5 = Input/output error, Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) I tried replacing the server name with its complete IP address, to no avail. I don't know if it's related, but I added the two following lines to my /etc/samba/smb.conf client plaintext auth = yes client lanman auth = yes and now the following command works (it didn't before) smbclient -L servername -U amitf Other than that I'm pretty much at a loss here.
