Yes, thanks for that.
I have a Win98 desktop that does not seem to have any 'share'
functionality, perhaps it was crippled.
But from Win2K, logged in as admin and created a share and mounted it on
linux thus:
mount -t smbfs //172.21.109.54/notes /xyz -o
username=test,workgroup=WORKGROUP
But when I used the 'ro' (readonly) option, I was able to write to the
share. However, I had enabled 'write' on the share. I would have thought
that Samba will inhibit write from the client side.
Anyhow, thanks all for the help.

For the first time I am trying smbmount with the following command:
smbmount /var/dsk019 //dsk019.bax.baxworld.com/ -o
username=auser,password=apassword,netbiosname=dsk019,uid=auser,ip=187.23.110.189
ro
but get the message "Could not resolve mount point
//dsk019.ba.baxworld.com/"
I read the manpage but there are no examples. The syntax is "smbmount
service mount-point options. I dont know what the service here means....I
also tried the "mount -t smbfs " but that throws up the help info.
What am I doing wrong?
