Oh, forgot to tell you. The debian package is of course called fusesmb :). Just do: (as root) apt-get install fusesmb (as user) mkdir ~/smb (as user) fusesmb ~/smb ... and you're all set. Unmounting can be done as normal user like this: fusermount -u ~/smb NOTE: If your user doesn't belong to the fuse group that must be dealt with first by (as root): adduser loosername fuse - Jaakko ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
