It could be. I've never tried mount_smbfs in a Domain, only a Workgroup. I'm not saying it won't work, I just don't know. I do know there is some magic in how SMB passwords get encrypted and that it is possible for FreeBSD to do it differently than the Win machine and thus the mount will fail. One more thing to try would be to create a share that requires NO password and see what happens then. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
