Okay, after spending a week unsuccessfully looking through the documentation, I broke down and am going to ask you guys. In all the previous versions of samba that I used, I could mount a smb filesystem with smbmount. For the way I am using samba, I need this functionality, or at least something very similar (ie - not the ftp like smbclient). When I got the latest version, however, there is no longer a smbmount program included, and I cant seem to find a way to do anything similar. I am sure that I am missing something obvious, but it would save me alot more time searching if someone could just point out what it is. If you can, cc my email address richk@yahoo.com Thanks, Rich. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!

You need to ./configure --with-smbmount when you build from source.
try a ./configure --help to see all the options.
smbmout only works on linux systems, with smbfs in kernel or as loaded
module.
Cheers

You can mount a SMB filesystem by using mount command it self in samba 2.2.2. Here is the way I mount the smb filesystem in my linux box running samba 2.2.2 mount -t smbfs -o username=gaurangp password=<passwd> //fileserver/share /mntpoint if you miss pasword field from that you will be prompted for that which i think is good idea.
