Hadzon — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 02:18:19 GMT

I'm a new user. I need to know, how can I mount a windows drive on a HP machine(785/b2600). I'm using HP-UNIX 11.0.

Now I've installed CIFS server/client and my HP machine is acting as a domain member of windows 2003 server domain. I can access shares of HP machine from windows 2003 server but how can I access/mount a shared drive of windows system from HP machine.

hi,

Assuming that you have already shared a folder on your windows machine, you wil have to do the following:

/opt/cifsclient/bin/cifsmount //myserver.domain.mu/myshare /mnt/mymount_point -u windows_user -p password_for_windows_user

Note that the CIFS client daemon must be running. if not so, do the following:

1. modify /etc/rc.config.d/cifsclient
(set the value to 1)
2. /sbin/init.d/cifsclient start

hope this helps!

kind regards

Dear Yogeeraj!

Yes, I have already shared a folder on windows machine and cifsclient is also up and running on HP machine.

but when I try to use cifsmount, system asks for

Remote user root's password:

and when I enter windows admin password it says

Logging in User: Dos: Access denied.

what should I do now?

After checking the cifsmount help -U(capital) is used to specify username and -P(capital) is used to specify password.

Now system doesn't ask for the password and print the following messege

Connecting Share: DOS: Access Denied

waiting for reply
