cifs/9000 client problems

[John Henrikson]

i'm having problems trying to connect a HP-UX 11.0 box to a share residing on a win xp pro machine..
I've installed the cifs/9000 client and when I run cifslist -S it shows the ip address of the server I'm trying to access..
when I try to use cifslogin i get logging in User: UNIX: Connection refused..
any hints would be welcome!! thanks so much

Hi,

i did some experiments with CIFS Client especialli cifsmount. As i got the same error message i thought i tell you what i did.

cifsmount needs the SMB name of the server, not the IP adress. So i had to configure the desired server in the /etc/hosts. Now i can use cifsmount //servername/sharename -options and this works perfectly.

Using cifsmont //ip-adress/sharename doesn??t work.

Hope this helps

Make sure the HP machnine has an account on the Windows box and that the Windows share has at least read permissions.

Make the account for the HP box a regular user account, not administrative or power user.

Then follow stefan's guidelines and see what happens. I bet it works better.

I once setup a CIFS server in HP-UX and always can't make Windows2000 pro to view the share dir.
Then I change the "smb.conf" to keep "EncryptPasswd=yes" and all be OK!
For your case, I think it also a probably cause.

For "share" and "user" security, it does OK!
