if the share is password protected, after the smbfs, add -o

only root will be able to do this. You might want to try to avoid
spaces in your share names in the future...just makes things easier
on the unix side.
I hace tried the above commands with and without username and
password but all
I get is the usage message, no indication of an error.
that message indicates you did not type it as shown. they probably
are the same, but I'm an old guy and this was before cifs... :)
if you NEED a password but don't pass it, you'll get a permission
denied error. if you get usage, you mucked the syntax. try it
exactly as I had it above, but replacing the mountpoint at the
end..and if it fails, cut and paste EXACTLY what you typed.
I was going to try Harry Putnam's solution of using cifs but it
seems to me
that the commands are exactly the same except for the file system.
Any other ideas please
Paul
