My problem is getting the smb server mounted on this computer.
Creating a working lie in /etc/fstab is the present problem, I can't do
much more without that.

Presently I have been trying:  //192.168.50.149/home/share
/media/smb    cifs    defaults   0 0
Here is a working cifs line from a client's fstab below, with names
changed.  All on one line of course.

     //cifsserver/sharename  /mnt/mountpoint cifs
     
uid=localusername,gid=localgroupname,credentials=/home/someuser/.smbcred,iocharset=utf8,noperm,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0664
     0 0

The .smbcred file mentioned contains the CIFS username and password. It
looks like this:

     domain=
     user=
     password=

filled in with the windows workgroup/ad-domain, windows user and windows
password. It can of source be anywhere; I'm storing it in the account of
the user associated with the share.

To test it, the command:

     mount /mnt/mountpoint

gets all the details from the /etc/fstab file. The command "man
mount.cifs" details the parameters available ("uid=" etc). So the above
presents the share as owned by "localusername", group owned by
"localgroupname", uses UTF-8 for the filesystem paths.

Cheers,

I have tried something similar but I'll use this fstab line as a starting point tomorrow, end of day here ...

Thank you for the help,
