problem: tramp and CIFS share. cannot get it.

[Pawel K]

Hallo Group Members.

I am trying to get smb share:
/smb:some.cifs.machine:/path/to/share/

connection fails with:

Enter john's password:
Domain=[MyDomain] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 2]
Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2]
Connection to HOST-CITY-D002 failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)

Process *tramp/smb john%MyDomain@some.cifs.machine* exited abnormally
with code 1


so far I debugged following:
from buffer *debug tramp/smb john%MyDomain@some.cifs.machine*:

  smbclient //some.cifs.machine/path -U john -W MyDomain -s /dev/null

(Note that `/to/share' part is truncated.)

Thus in shell:
prompt$ smbclient //some.cifs.machine/path -U john -W MyDomain

gives identical error as encountered in *debug tramp/smb
john%MyDomain@some.cifs.machine* buffer.

but, with complete path:
prompt$ smbclient //some.cifs.machine/path/to/share -U john -W MyDomain

connection succeeds.

Truncation is done by `tramp-smb-get-share' in very beginning of
`tramp-smb-maybe-open-connection'.

I am using:
tramp-version is a variable defined in `trampver.el'.
Its value is "2.1.18-23.2"

emacs-version is a variable defined in `version.el'.
Its value is "23.2.1"

do You have any idea of how to make it work ok.

best regards and thank You very much for tramp module,
Pawel

I'm confused. What does "/path/to/share" means? A share is always a
name, without slash or backslash. In your example above, "path" is the
share name.

So you must use "/smb:some.cifs.machine:/share/path/to/file".

by 'share' I mean a resource that is being shared, like directory or
file. Probably this is not correct. Share by means of samba protocol is
reflected by first segment of path (`share/' in my example).

Let's assume then, that there is some directory I want to enter:
like:
some.cifs.machine:/share/path/to/directory

while this one works:
bash-prompt$ smbclient //some.cifs.machine/share/path/to/directory -U john -W MyDomain

but putting tramp path in emacs:
/smb:some.cifs.machine:/share/path/to/directory

fails

Of course in both the cases I put correct password at password prompt

best regards,
Pawel

What's about

/smb:john%MYDOMAIN@some.cifs.machine:/share/path/to/directory
/smb:john%SOME@some.cifs.machine:/share/path/to/directory

"SOME" is the host name of the remote machine. And what happens with

/smb:john%MYDOMAIN@some.cifs.machine:
/smb:john%SOME@some.cifs.machine:
