By default, F27 now uses SMB 3.0x. If your server is SMB 1.0, try specifying "vers=1.0" in the mount command, e.g.: mount -t cifs -o username=$user,password=$password,vers=1.0 //winsrvr/share /mnt Not sure if they autonegotiate well or not. M$ has always hidden that stuff fairly well and Samba is a reverse-engineered solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Have you noticed that "human readable" configuration file - - directives are beginning to resemble COBOL code? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
