CIFS question, multiple shares from same Windows server.

CIFS question, multiple shares from same Windows server.

I am trying to mount a second 'unique' share from a windows 2000 server. The share is set up with a different unique username and password from the original share.
When I try to mount the share it returns:
"Logging in User: Tou are already connected as user ->simpleuser<-

Any ideas?

Re: CIFS question, multiple shares from same Windows server.

CIFS is based on samba, using SMB protocol. Connection is done with one user, so you can only mount shares visible to that user.

You should give access to your shares to group and not to users, and assign user used to connect from Unix to the desired groups.
