[Samba] Trouble connecting to Samba shares set up under FC6

[Aaron Hawryluk]

Hi list,

Having a problem connecting to a Samba server under Fedora Core 6. Every
time I try to connect, even from localhost, I get the message
NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME.

Samba config was done in the Redhat samba configuration tool (gnome).

I can connect with smbclient -L illuminatus -U <username> and get a list of
the shares. However when I try to connect with smbclient -U <username>
\\\\illuminatus\\<sharename> I get the error. From a windows machine I can
browse the shares, but when I try to select a specific share it says the
network location could not be found.

The Samba shares are mapped to curlftpfs mounted directories. When I create
a samba share one level above the mounted directories, I notice that I can
connect to the share but the directories don't show up. When I try to access
them anyway with smbclient, it says:

smb: \130.66.10.1\> cd home
cd \130.66.10.1\home\: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Is it impossible to access mounted directories through a Samba share? Or do
I need to do some additional configuration?

My fstab entries look like this:

curlftpfs#<user>:<password>@130.66.10.1//usr/export/home
/var/mount/130.66.10.1/home   fuse   defaults,umask=000   0 0

Anyone got any ideas?
