I have just updated to samba 3.x on my redhat 9.0 box and I can no longer connect to the windows 2003 server we have. It worked fine using the old 2.2.7 version.

I can run the smbclient okay
e.g. smbclient //fileserver/datadrive -U user%password

It gives me

Domain=[SSL] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2]
smb: \> ls

34726 blocks of size 1048576. 18709 blocks available


However when I run the smbmount commands e.g.


smbmount //fileserver/datadrive /mnt/datadrive -o "username=geoff,password=apassword,uid=geoff,gid=geoff,fmask=664,dmask=775"


It logs in okay or seems to, but when i change into /mnt/datadrive and do ls, I get

ls: .: Stale NFS file handle

The same goes if I try to mount it in auto.misc
e.g.


datadrive -fstype=smbfs,soft,uid=500,gid=501,workgroup=ssl,username=geoff,password=apassword,dmask=775,rw ://fileserver/datadrive


All of this used to work fine before, and I have not chanhed anything except updating to samba 3.x
There is no error output in smbmount.log either.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on and how to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

G
