try something like:
WinNT -fstype=smbfs,login=your_id,passwd=xxxxxx ://WinNT/C
-
- be careful that smb support is NOT compiled into the rh-6.0 linux kernel...
- use it as a module instead... it will destroy your NT timestamps ..
- test your linux kernels on a test NT box..
- touch -m /WinNT/foo
- tar zcvf /tmp/nt_foo.tgz /WinNT/foo_dir/

have fun
