smbfs/cifs unable to mount shares

[basketcase]

So a little history. Dell Dimension 8400 P4 2GHz, 1GB RAM. Was running Ubuntu 8.10, I was able to mount shares editing /etc/fstab and it worked sort of...but it would completely lock up the system when browsing them, and I'd just have to turn the box off.

So off went Ubuntu and on went PC-BSD 7.0.2. Now I can't even mount the shares!

/etc/fstab looks like this:

cat /etc/fstab
# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/ad0s1b             none            swap    sw              0       0    
/dev/ad0s1a             /               ufs     rw              1       1    
linprocfs       /compat/linux/proc      linprocfs rw    0  0                 
proc    /proc   procfs rw       0  0                                         
#HomeDirectory                                                               
//server.domain.tld/~share /usr/home/basketcase/HomeDirectory cifs credentials=/etc/cifspw 0 0
#SystemsShare                                                                                            
//server.domain.tld/share$/directory /usr/home/basketcase/SystemsShare cifs credentials=/etc/cifspw 0 0

I try and run mount -a and I get this:

mount -a
fstab: /etc/fstab:7: Inappropriate file type or format
fstab: /etc/fstab:9: Inappropriate file type or format

I've tried replacing cifs with smbfs. Same behavior.

When I try and manually mount the share:

mount_smbfs -I 10.10.9.42 //basketcase@10.10.9.42/~basketcase /usr/home/basketcase/HomeDirectory/

It asks for credentials and I get this:

mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Connection reset by peer

What am I missing? Why was I able to mount these shares in Ubuntu, but not PC-BSD?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

In regards to your fstab, *switches to drill sergeants voice* BSD IS NOT LINUX, so like any other unix based system; exactly what can go in fstab is slightly different per operating system.


If you check Daemonforums.org, there was recently a thread on mounting SMB/CIFS shares on startup via /etc/fstab. Also note well, you may want to check the Services Manger and disable any firewalling (pf) entries for testing.

Thanks for the reply...I'll look into your suggestions further. Greatly appreciated.
