I am having an issue mounting smbfs shares on my system. mount_smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Can't assign requested address I know its failing the NetBIOS name resolutioni, but I don't know why, and cona't find a way to troubleshoot it. the fstab entries are: //SMBFS@workstation/Music /jails/webmail/ROOT/smbfs/workstation/Music smbfs rw,late,-N,noauto 0 0 //SMBFS@workstation/Documents /jails/webmail/ROOT/smbfs/workstation/Documents smbfs rw,late,-N,noauto 0 0 //SMBFS@workstation/Downloads /jails/webmail/ROOT/smbfs/workstation/Downloads smbfs rw,late,-N,noauto 0 0 //SMBFS@workstation/Pictures /jails/webmail/ROOT/smbfs/workstation/Pictures smbfs rw,late,-N,noauto 0 0 //SMBFS@workstation/Videos /jails/webmail/ROOT/smbfs/workstation/Videos smbfs rw,late,-N,noauto 0 0 I can work around it simply by using the -I switch mount_smbfs -I workstation //SMBFS@workstation/Music /jails/webmail/ROOT/smbfs/workstation/Music Every way I can think to test name resolution works, for both the short and fqdns name for the host, and I have an entry for it in /etc/nsmb.conf for it. [WORKSTATION:SMBFS] password=$$[**snip**] addr=10.9.5.66 There is an entry in the hosts file for this machine, think that was added some time back due to issues with smbfs mounts. Anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot the NetBIOS name resolution? -- Thanks, Dean E. Weimer http://www.dweimer.net/
