How are your samba shares being mounted? Do you use /etc/fstab
like:
//servername/sharename /mountdirectory smbfs username=windowsuserename,password=windowspassword 0 0
or do you mount them through file manager (nautilus or some similiar), and use Gnome Virtual File System (gvfs)?
If your mounts are permanents, through fstab
, you should see them always, unless you have your ssh
sessions, chrooted (in a safe sandbox). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrooted
To mount your samba share/resource manually you could use:
mount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /mountdirectory -o username=mywindowsusername,password=mywindowspassword
Can you post the output for the mount
command on both scenarios, local session and ssh?
