Anyone know how to specify a complete path in smbclient ? Even if I put the entire path in it, it will only mount the "root" of it, eg //files.domain.com/staff/department but it will not go into anything further than that. What happens is that the location I should load is 2 directories down from there, eg //files.domain.com/staff/department/user/username... and since there is only passthrough access to direcories in between (eg will say "yes you can load an item withing this but you may not read the what is in this directory"). The only directory that I'm supposed to access and be able to read and write is the /username one at the end. Any one have an idea how to define the path properly so it will get through to that directory level ?
For now, wether I use smbclient or Connect to Server, I get to the //files.domain.com/staff directory but cannot see anything in it to navigate or map any further. (Files are located on a Win 2k3 server)
With SMB Client if I try to cd, I can get to the list of departments, then within the directory for that department, but if I do an ls there, I get "NT_STATUS_PATH_NOT_COVERED listing" error.

So no one has any more answer than I do on this one huh... Just that the other option we have to connect to the server is secure webdav, but that won't be available until Tiger comes out... and can't justify updating all Macs to tiger just for that...

huh. Shouldn't the group policy on the Win2k3 server dictate whom has read rights down the line to the user directory? Eg, the user? AFAIK, there's no way to mount solely the endpoint like you want (like it does on Windows).

My problem I guess is that it doesn't read traverse rights properly... If I go to files.domain..com/staff/department, its blank, but if I look at permissions, it says I have read and write privilege...
If I try to mount a point beyond thgat in the file structure, I get stuck back to this point because I can't view the folders there. I'm asking here for help as our admins are of the "PC" type, which means that the moment you say the word Mac, they put their hands over their ears and start screaming so they don't hear me, or they just go "Macs are stupid and just don't work with anything but themselves"... You know... the average PC LAN admin :D

What do you mean exactly by AD rollout ? (Sorry... to me there is only one tech term for AD when dealing with it for Macs... "D*** Crapy AD !) lolllll :D
I hate it with a passion, but being the Mac guy here, I have no choice but to integrate our macs to it...
