I tried this command to mount those shares mount -t cifs -o username=windowsusename //windows2003/sharename/anotherfolder /mnt/server the samba then asks for the password of the windows user,i gave the correct password but then Linux returns with an error mount error 6 = No such device or address Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) The /anotherfolder exists under windows2003/sharename. I can access the windows2003/sharename by giving this command. mount -t cifs -o username=windowsusename //windows2003/sharename /mnt/server but i want to give access to the users only to some folders on which they have rights not to other folders means only one or 2 subfolders under /windows2003/sharename and not allowing access to all the folders under sharename. I also tried this on Windows XP using the command mount -t smbfs -o username=windowsusename //windowsxp/sharename/somefolder /mnt/xp but this also gave an error 4858: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name) SMB connection failed Whereas i can access the sharename by giving this command mount -t smbfs -o username=windowsusename //windowsxp/sharename/ /mnt/xp Please tell me whether this is possible or not.I want to give access to some folders to the users not to all the folders . Thanks & Regards Ankush
