Cifsclient help

Gary Hines — Mon, 30 Sep 2002 15:35:47 GMT

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting the cifsclient to work. When doing the mount -F cifs everything seems to go well. And the cifslist -A shows the share as mounted. However, when I do the cifslogin, it quickly comes back with a "Logging in User: UNIX: Host is down". Any ideas?

Hello-

This is a quick shot in the dark, but are the Samba daemons (smbd and nmbd) running on the server, and, have you defined your user to Samba?

Hi Mike,
I should have mentioned that I'm trying to connect to a Windoze 2000 computer. Since it's the CIFS client that I'm trying to use, I don't think I need the Samba daemons running.

Sorry, I meant to add..

When I stated about the daemons running on the server, I meant the server that houses the local filesystem you are mounting to your client...

I don't know too much about the W2K side of things, but I would assume that the client is trying to connect to tcp or udp port 139 on the W2K box. Can you see if that port is available and listening on that box? Maybe telnet to that port to check the tcp side of things.

Ok,

One, is your domain set to the same domainname that the W2K box is using in the /etc/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.cfg file?

Two, is your username on the unix box a valid user in the domain, so that it can be authenticated when you attempt access to the W2K filesystem?

Thanks for all the help. I finally got it. One of the problems was the domain, but after fixing that the error still occurred. The problem ended up being that I didn't have the computer that I was attempting to connect to in the /etc/hosts file.
