Why not use smbfs compiled into the kernel or as a module, then use mount to mount the share, and not think of samba at all. My impression was that Samba was to be used if you wanted to make a share on your machine available to other windoz machines. the command I use to mount a smb share is: mount -t smbfs -o username=USERNAME password=password //smbserver/share /mnt/samba.
smbclient -L //smbserver is a nice way to see if you can connect to the shares. just my thoughts, if they're wrong someone will hopefully correct me. - -- Sigurd Stordal President of GOGS Experimental Petrologist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+jVXaSB4UOs/snOURAkcNAJ9r0HIsGjDr+w/6ovpO/IVkok3lmQCfXmvj aoA5t7T0F5zZKuCgLHDXqLo= =rJIG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
