If i remember right, you just can mount SHARES not directories under a share.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.
If you want to have this, you should either:
-make a share out of this directory
-giving the apprpriate user-rights to the directory, so no other can access it
