Hi,
Do we need server to support cifs file system inorder to mount
the shared folder(shared using samba daemon ) via cifs on network.I got
operation not permitted message when i tried to mount my samba shared
partition on a linux server (details below ) on a client in our network.
I dont understand why this mounting fails if the server doesnt support
cifs.
I am able to mount shared folders on windoze machines via cifs.
this is the command i used to mount the shares.
$mount -t cifs -o username=guest,password=abc123 //ipaddress/share dir
Some body please clarify me.Some more information here
