samba - Oct 2000 - mount a NT partition

Is there anyway to mount a NT PDC partition as both readable and WRITABLE?

Thanks in advance.

Alan

Yes.    I use " mount -t smbfs -o username=domain_user_name
//server_name/share_name /mount_point "

Running RedHat 6.2 and it works great!

You of course must be root when using the mount command (unless you have set it
up so all can mount).  Also you must have a domain account with read/write
rights.

Hope this helps.

What file system is the NT FS? FAT or NTFS? I was adviced not to mount
NTFS system on to Linux. They are ok to be mounted in readonly mode but not in
readwrite mode.

Please correct me if that is not an issue now.
