Have a CIFS mount that works fine on all of my 5.3 boxes but fails on all of my 5.2 systems. Here's the command I use:

mount -v cifs -n test.domain.com /username/passwd -o wrkgrp=workgroup_name /NT_mountpoint /AIX_mountpoint

Works w/5.3, but gets this error on all 5.2 systems:

There was an error connecting the share or the server.
Make sure the lsdev command shows that device nsmb0 is in
the Available state. Also make sure that the share name,
user name and password are accurate.

Any differences between 5.2 and 5.3? TIA for any suggestions.

But does not include CIFS !!

I find via Google and "aix CIFS" many references to CIFS on AIX 5.2

How convinced are you that the problems is AIX 5.2 compared to its just a different machine and the config could be not setup right?

That's a good question. I've tried the same command on several 5.2 ML8 systems and they all have the same problem. The same command, on any 5.3 (TL3 and up), works w/o a problem.

I've looked at all of the doco for the command, and the format appears to be unchanged from 5.2 to 5.3.

Thanks.
