I want to thank everyone for your suggestions to my last post. I appreciate it. anyway, I'm looking for a way to use smbclient to map a Windows Share to a Linux partition? Thus: Box A - Linux Box B - Windows NT (contains a share called 'cdrive') when I am on Box A, and a I do df, I would like to see /cdrive as one of the partitions? Is this possible? I did look at the man pages first and I don't see anything on this. Thank you, I appreciate your help. Sanjay __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Make a note of the username and password, if applicable. Name it "cdrive" or something equally memorable. Step the second: On Box A, login as root and # mkdir /mnt/cdrive # smbmount //Box_B_Name/cdrive /mnt/cdrive Enjoy!
