Here's the error: westk@westek:~$ smbmount //faculty/web netShares/web/ Password: mount error 2 = No such file or directory Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) This used to work on this box, until a few months (weeks?) ago (I'm just now getting around to working on the problem). Both boxes run Sid.If you have a "helpful" ISP, such as Verizon, then it's going to resolve "faculty" to its search service, which isn't what you want. With smbfs, you could specify name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast to avoid the DNS lookup. With cifs, you can't, since it doesn't yet respect smb.conf. However, you can install winbind and edit /etc/nsswitch.conf, setting the hosts spec to: hosts: files wins dns That worked like a charm for me, with thanks to Steve Langasek (vorlon).
Changing /etc/samba/smb.conf to: ; name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast and restarting /etc/init.d/samba made no difference. "aptitude install winbind" and changing /etc/nsswitch.conf to: hosts: files wins dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4 #hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 made no difference.When trying to smbmount "faculty", it doesn't matter if I use "faculty" or "faculty.acu.edu" or the IP address; same failure each time.
westk@westek:~$ smbclient -L faculty

I'm using my username (westk) which is the same on both Debian boxes and
on the ACU-ACADEMIC WindowsNT/ActiveDirectory domain. I can smbmount a
share that's on a Windows Server 2003 box:
westk@westek:~$ smbclient -L luke Password:Domain=[ACU] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 2] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2]
