samba - Apr 2005 - Mapping Samba Server as a drive?

Hi,

I was just wondering whether can we map a samba server as a drive?  If can, it
would be GREAT! This is because we can make users who log on to the server see
different directories (like novell) and i thought it would be EXCELLENT if we
can map the samba server as a drive itself.

If we can, how can we achieve that?

Thanks.

you can map a samba server to a drive just like you'd map a windows-based
server:

net use h: \\servername\share

or right click on "My Network Places" and select "Map Network
Drive..."

Hi Matthew,

I was talking about mapping a samba server to a drive NOT a share from the samba
server to a drive.

net use h: \\servername

Any way of doing that?

adrian
