[Samba] Can't mount Samba share on Linux box, Windows clients

[Brian Gewin]

When I encountered weird messages when trying to mount Samba shares on a
Linux box the solution was to make sure I had the location of smbmount and
smbmnt in my path.  On RedHat 6.2 the path is /usr/sbin.  I have not seen
your exact error before though.  Hope that helps.

   Hi all.  I've got most of the Samba config dialed in yet I still
cannot get printing or file sharing going from my main desktop (Debian
Sarge).  Here's what I tried:
root at PlanetExpress:/home/bax# mount -t smbfs -o
username=planetexpress,password=tigerlily //printserver/homes /mnt/Samba
Unknown parameter encountered: "passdb backend"
Ignoring unknown parameter "passdb backend"


  Any ideas?  Printing from CUPS on my Linux box to the Samba box
doesn't work either.  I hope it's something small or stupid because the
Windows clients are running just fine.  I appreciate any
ideas/comments/ridicule anyone might offer.
