hi,
using the wizrard i get

mount point already exists - will attempt to use
Attempting to mount /// at

is this correct? default file manager doesn't list any shares.
I've had a look using gpe file manager.
/media/remote_filesystems is empty.

what next?

I think this is another difference between bash and sh. This seems to happen at the requote stage of the script. I think another way of requoting has to be used.

I don't know why it's coming out blank, You should see the paths of the network share and mountpoint in that string. Obviously Fremantle's doing something (else) differently than the Fedora and Ubuntu PCs I've been testing the script on. Anyone with an N900 know what's going on? Cue?

I'm not sure but it seems like a problem with the printf %q command in this shell. it replaces it with nothing.

Code:
echo "enter your string"
read vartest
echo "you entered $vartest"
vartest=$(printf '%q' "$vartest")
echo "requoted to: $vartest"
I'm not sure why it does that, my guess is it doesnt have the %q format. Since I cant access the manual does anybody else know anything about printf in the shell fremantle uses?

update: it seems that this is in fact another difference between bash and sh. The printf in bash supports %q but printf in sh doesn't. This is true even in ubuntu running the short script above

with #!/bin/sh
Code:
$ ./printftest.sh
Enter a string
hello world
You entered hello world
printf: 14: %q: invalid directive
Requoted to

with #!/bin/bash
Code:
$ ./printftest.sh
Enter a string
hello world
You entered hello world
Requoted to hello\ world

Hi to all, and many thanks for your continued hard work with this.

I've attempted to supply all the arguments as one, i.e. not using wizard mode, e.g.
"./cifsmount myhomeserver 192.168.254.10 mysharedfolder myusername mypassword /mount/point"

The Remote_Filesystems directory in media seems to be empty...

any ideas?

Also, picking up on easy debian and smbclient - this looks like a quick way round things, the repositories appear to be down :-(

I would like to try this...

I have a package for both Samba (which has both the server and client utilities) and Truecrypt; but the repositories are down. Once they are up I will get them submitted.

That would be brilliant nathan. I am having so much trouble with Vista. I cannot even see any shares from it even though its all set up. I can see the vista laptop on another computer running xp just nothing on the N900. my N800 sees it fine but I seem to remember having Samba installed on it. any chance you could host the .deb for samba so I can give it a try? thanks again
