Hi All,

Until recently, I could mount a share on our Windows NT file server with

smbmount //fileserver/myshare$ /mymountpoint -o username=gdb,fmask666

Now everything is moved to a new server with Windows 2000, and also a new group concept. I tried all possible variations of above, but it just does not work. Mostly, it complains about a 'bad username/password pair', however under my Windows NT workstation it still works perfectly. A few variations I tried:

smbmount //fileserver/myshare$ /mymountpoint -o username=gdb,fmask666

smbmount //fileserver/myshare$ /mymountpoint -o username=group/gdb,fmask666

smbmount //fileserver/myshare$ /mymountpoint -o username=group\gdb,fmask666

smbmount //fileserver/myshare$ /mymountpoint -o username=gdb@group,fmask666

etc.

And also variations where I try to escape the '/' and the '\'. It just does not work. My network administrator assisted me, but could not work it out too (he is an incognito Linux fan administrating a Windows Network...)

Anybody any idea? Problems with active directory? Version incompatiblities?
