I am trying to mount a share with a Username with a @ in it. The man pages all say that you use the following form: //user@host/share My School only has documentation for Windows on setting up the Network Shares. In all the windows docs they always use the form username@carroll.edu -- ie pquerna@carroll.edu My Attempts: mount_smbfs -I saints //PQuerna@carroll.edu@server/username$ /mnt/carroll/xdrive Gives: mount_smbfs: server name 'carroll.edu@server' too long I tried it without the @carroll.edu, in the hope it might work... mount_smbfs -I saints //PQuerna@server/username$ /mnt/carroll/xdrive Password: mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error It Prompts for my password, and then fails, because its the wrong user. I also tried adding quotes around the username, escaping(\) the @, but nothing seemed to work. I looked around google for abit, but it doesn't seem to even use symbols when i search for somthing, so i couldn't find jack about this via my normal euphoric rescue on google. Any ideas before i get the source code out and hardcode some stuff? -chip
