mount -t smbfs ... or equivalent

[Charles Moon]

Again as a reminder, I am able to access a share on the NT server.  It is
only a Win98 node that fails.

> Unless you have selected user-based authentication...

I am using the default "share level" authentication

> Have you set a password for the share?

No password is set.

> If there is no password, try using mount -t smbfs -o username=me,guest
//winbox/share /mnt.

I did this as suggested.  No success however.

Win98 box is authenticating...

I believe it is a "guest" or "everyone" authentication.  I am able to browse
into the share with no problem from any users login.

remote
admin password...

The share is not a hidden share.  It is simply an ordinary share w/ full
access and no password.


When mounting the share, I don't get any error messages.  It appears to
mount okay.  When attempting to browse or "ls" the newly mounted directory
"/mnt/mounted" I get: "ls: /mnt/mounted: Input/output error".

I also get "# smb_refresh_inode: /// changed mode, 0040755 to 0100755" when
attempting to access the mounted directory from a web browser.
