mount -t smbfs problems

Typing 'mount -t smbfs //Windowsmachine/bill /mnt/bill'
I get the error message:

1874: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

This exact same smb.conf file worked before, but now it doesn't.


I can see the linux box from my Windows 2000 "My Network Places",
copy files, etc. I can ping the Windows shared drive also,
but I can't mount the Windows shared drives.

You 're not telling us your linux. distro, smb version etc. Are you trying
to mount the shares as root or normal user? Samba is not allowing normal
users mounts.
