Hi, i'm trying to set up fstab to automatically connect to my office shared server. I'm undoubtedly doing something silly here as the username and password and server name work fine in the first code snippet below, just not the second - any help would be appreciated!

The following command works as expected...

tom@tom-desktop: sudo /usr/bin/smbclient -L Server.local -Uguest
Enter guest's password: 
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.10]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        Lacie Disk      Disk      macosx
        Server          Disk      macosx
        IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Server)
        ADMIN$          IPC       IPC Service (Server)
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.10]

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------
        ACER-9D60040D10      
        SERVER               Server

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
        WORKGROUP            ACER-9D60040D10

But when i add the following line to /etc/fstab, i get this error: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22

//Server.local/Server  /media/maguires  cifs  username=guest,password=password  0  0
