I can connect to my users home directory on the ebox server, from my Ubuntu 10.04 desktop, using this path: smb://[username]@ebox/[username]/
so no problem there.
However I want to permanently mount this Home folder, so I enter these commands into /etc/ftstab
//ebox/[username] /media/homeShare cifs username=[username],password=[password] 0 0
and I get a permissions error. Yet I using exactly the same login credentials?
Maybe the path to the resource on //ebox/[username] is wrong?
When i check the Mountpount it says that the owner is user #2002, which I assume is the reference to the useraccount on the server.
And when when i mount a normal shared resource, using the exact same login credentials again, it works. (yep i know its not secure to set up fstab this way, i shall secure it when its working);
//ebox/[sharename] /media/eboxShare cifs username=[username],password=[password] 0 0
