Hi everybody. I am trying to mount a SMB share on a Mac machine with /etc/fstab. I got almost everything to work properly. With: //mac_serv/share /mnt/macserver smbfs noauto,user,rw,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/myself/.smbpasswd 0 0 all in a line in fstab i can mount the share and i have write permissions also as non root user (thanks to all previous posts! :) ) However, i cannot, not even as root, browse or write the root dir of the share! Whenever i try to do a ls i get: [user@localhost macserver]# ls ls: .: No such file or directory I can only chdir into my own dir (i.e. //mac_serv/share/Myshare), and after that everything works pretty well. But i can't even see what my dir name looks like, i must know it by heart. Clearly the problem is that such share is running on a old Mac machine (earlier than Mac OS X). Has anybody had similar problems? Any idea? It would be indeed useful to browse the share root dir (i.e. //mac_serv/share). I doesn't seem to be a problem of local mac configuration, as i have enough privileges on that machine to browse all the share. Thanks a lot E.
