you can probably use e.g.
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mp3s /mp3
It still doesn't work. I remember mounting it manually using the command
mount_smbfs -I ipaddress //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mp3s /mtpoint
I don't think substituting ipaddress(eg, 10.1.1.1) for "samba" in [EMAIL PROTECTED] will make any sense because I still have to specify its IP address using the "-I" option whenever I mount it manually.
in your /etc/fstab, but of course you can also add your samba-server in /etc/hosts
tried it also, but didn't work.
Anymore idea? thanks.
If you trust those with root access on your system, you can use the /etc/nsmb.conf file and configure that with the proper info for the remote server:
[HOST:USER:SHARE_NAME] addr=HOST_IP password=USER_password_on_remote_system workgroup=domain/workgroup
... then edit your fstab to something like:
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/SHARE /mountpoint smbfs rw,-N,-I=remote system ip 0 0
USER, HOST, SHARE are the same as in the nsmb.conf file, and I've found that these are often case sensitive. If the password is listed in nsmb.conf, then the -N in the fstab entry will use that password and not require you to enter it. Once done, a simple mount /mountpoint should get you on your way.
Hope it helps.
