Have you tried out smbclient which allows you to browse a samba share without mounting it:On Sun, 3 Aug 2003 19:59:41 -0600 Collins Richey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Is there any way to cause the mount not to prompt for a passwd? Hint, I have no defined users and do not log in to the WinXP box.
Thanks. It works with user=guest.If you put the appropriate line in /etc/fstab with password=,user= then you can just do 'mount /mnt/samba'. (Or it may have to be user=guest).
OK, now to dig a little deeper. The set of directories (it varies) that I'm wanting to access "appear" to have no common high level directory (they are anchored on the WinXP desktop), so I need to do a separate mount for each. Short of putting a big list in fstab, is there any way to get a given directory mounted for general use upon demand, either by command or by root command and make the permissions such that normal users can manipulate it?
smbclient //name_of _computer/directory_name ?
Even more comfortable, in kde konqueror you can browse by entering the address
smb://name_of _computer/directory_name
(the same works in gnome nautilus, as far as I know).
