I'm having a hell of a time mounting Samba shares under Linux. Both server and client are running kernel v 2.2.1x on otherwise RedHat v6.0 systems. The machine running the Samba (v2.0.5a) server is working great. Directories and printers are easily accessable from Win98 and OS/2. It's Linux as a SMB *client* that is giving me problems. I can easily mount shares from a command prompt like this: smbmount //corona/myhome /mnt/samba/myhome -U xxxxx%yyyyy How, though, do I get this information into /etc/fstab in a valid format that can be recognized at boot time? Thanks for any advice on this. *** Steve Snyder ***

I haven't looked at the cvs version but it is likely to also have that change. /Urban
