HOW TO CONFIG CIFS ON LINUX(FEDORA 12)

[andyzhuangyy]

the system is run on linux correctly now. I want to use CIFS to mount the directory of the alfresco as a file dir of linux. But I tried severl times. and it failed.

i have tested on windows 7.(running on windows smoothly)
In windows the cmd

net use \\%ComputerName%A\alfresco /user:admin admin /persistent:no ‍

can run correctly. And I can access the dir from windows explorer.

in linux i use the shell

mount -t cifs //{localname}a/alfresco /media/alfresco -o username=admin‍

mount error: could not resolve address for {localname}a: Name or service not known
No ip address specified and hostname not found

this is file-server.xml

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CIFS Server">
      <serverEnable enabled="${cifs.enabled}"/>
      
      <host name="${cifs.localname}A" domain="${cifs.domain}"/>
      <comment>Alfresco CIFS Server</comment>

      <!– Set to the broadcast mask for the subnet –>
      <broadcast>${cifs.broadcast}</broadcast>
      
      <!– Set to the IP for the adapter for Java socket –>
      <bindto>${cifs.bindto}</bindto>

      <!– Use Java socket based NetBIOS over TCP/IP and native SMB on linux –>
      <tcpipSMB ipv6="${cifs.ipv6}" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <netBIOSSMB bindto="${cifs.bindto}" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
