smbfs is deprecated and should not be used. Its replacement is cifs. Like so: mount -t cifs //BORG/SHARE /mnt/borg -o domain=WORKGROUP,user=JOEBOB ...will find the share SHARE on the machine BORG and attempt to mount it on mountpoint /mnt/borg using the user JOEBOB from domain WORKGROUP. It'll ask you for a password if one's required. You may be able to leave the domain= off if your 'Doze network doesn't use domains. IME, NFS is faster than Samba, which may be something to think about. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
