I have a Windows Server 2003 system I'm trying to back up to a Linux host.

when I access the share with smbclient, I can "see" the files (`ls` returns a
list of files, etc)

smbclient -U shareuser //server/sharename password

But, when I try to actually mount the drive, I get "permission denied" errors
trying to access the drive. (EG: using `df`) Running the following command
takes about 10 seconds:

smbmount //server/sharename /mnt/servername -o \

hey,

sometimes it is not possible to access windows 2003 shares with smbmount command .

Try this command it works for me :

mount -t cifs -o username=valid_user  //windows2003machine/share name /mnt/smb(linux mount point).
