mount_smb question

I upgraded? my win95 drive to win2k

In the past, I mounted the printer attached to the win95 computer with

mount_smb -p //wincomp:wincomp/printer /Qprn

When I try this now, I get…
Mount failed: Permission denied

I tried using the -u option (with an account on the win2k machine), I get…

mount_smb -p -ugsherman //wincomp:wincomp/printer /Qprn password

Can’t find ‘gsherman’: Block device required

I tried adding a user (root) to win2k, but that didn’t work either.

What do I need to do to mount the printer on the win2k machine?

I do

user_smb username passwd
mount_smb //wininfo /mountpoint

and that works for me

My SMBfsys is 1.30I Dec 07 1999. I cheat: user_smb guest “”

But it also works if I use an existing W2k account and password.
I haven’t messed with the password encryption registry entries.
The /etc/passwd file does not need to have the account as a login.

The problem with WinNT/2K and using guest is you need to make a guest user
and add that to all of the shares AND the security options for every file
you need access to (unless I just never figured it out and have been doing
that for years without knowing a different way to do it).
