samba - Oct 2002 - Mounting a windows share

How can I mount a windows share on a sun machine. I am also not able to find
out the smbmount on that machine.

Thanks

Maybe you have to install some binaries from samba packages? or, try to use
mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password
file://nameofserver/share /mnt/yourmountpoint

I think smbmount is a separate downloadable package (At least it was
with Debian).  If I recall correctly the command to smbmount is

smbmount //HOME/myshare /mnt/home -Uuser1%mypassword

Refer to man smbmount if this is not correct.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

I have Red Hat Linux 8.0 with samba and winbind running. When I attempt to
create a mount to my windows file server the mount succeeds and I can access
my files and folders. Although when I login as a separate user account and
attempt to change the permissions using chmod or chown to any of the files I
receive a message stating

Chmod: changing permissions of 'root' (requested: 0777, actual: 0755):
Operation not permitted

Any way I can change the file or folder permissions on this mount?
