Contos3->5 upgrade, smbmount is gone?
 

I solemnly puke upon people who break things and call it progress. Get
ye to Redmond.

I upgraded Centos3.8 to Centos5.4; smbmount is gone. Mounting a WinXP
share requires a new instantiation of the old command

smbmount \hostnamepath oshare /local/mount/point -o
ip=123.12.34.234,username=hostnamemy_userid,passwo rd=whatever

which should now be

mount -t cifs <somebody please fill in the blanks here>

Does the windows side have to change? If so what?

fyi, you could have replaced those with / and it worked just fine...

smbmount //hostname/path/to/share /local/mount/point -o ip=123.12.34.234,username=hostname/my_userid,password=whatever

...

anyways, a typical mount -t cifs looks like...


mount -t cifs //server/share /local/mount/point -o ip=1.2.3.4
username=userid%password


[where whatever is the user's password] ip shouldn't be needed if
'server' resolves
