The key is to use the mount command... as in: mount -t smbfs -o username=NAME,password=PASSWD,etc //host/share <file://host/share> /mountpoint This can be expressed in your fstab as: //host/share <file://host/share> /mountpoint smbfs username=NAME,password=PASSWD,... 0 0 The options are the options shown for man smbmount (plus any global options like user,noauto etc) -----Original Message----- From: Mike Loiterman [mailto:mloiterman@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 11:42 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: (no subject) I'm using various 2000 and 98 machines with my Redhat 7 machine. Everything works perfectly when I go from the Win machines to the Linux machine. But, I cannot, for the life of me figure out how to mount the Win Shares on my linux machine! I have tried smbmount /*/server/*/share (remove * my email program wants to turn it into a link) but it keeps asking for a mountpoint. I tried / but that doesn't work. I can connect if I use a smbclient command, but then I can't transfer files back and forth between my linux and win machines. Thanks for the help. _____ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com <http://explorer.msn.com> -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
