are you using smbpasswd, tdbsam, or ldapsam for authentication? in
linux can you do mount -t cifs "//192.168.248.195/A_Valid_Share" /mnt -o
username=user,password=passwd

what sort of errors are you getting in /var/log/samba/log.smbd

Thanks for the reply.. :)
ya i am using smbpasswd.. but when i tried to mount as you told it is giving
something like this..


[root(a)localhost]# mount -t cifs "//192.168.248.195//home/abc" /mnt -o
username=abc, password=abc
Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems
mount -l : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
mount device : mount device at the known place
mount directory : mount known device here
mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
mount --move olddir newdir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say man 8 mount .


and in the file /var/log/samba/smbd.log... the output is like this...
