Samba will make drives accessible just the same way mapping would work in
windows.
All you have to do is ensure you have samba installed ('rpm -qa |grep samba' to
check).
Have the username and password of the computer that hosts the shares as well
as the win directory name and where you want to mount on the linux machine.
Then issue "mount -t smbfs -o username=winntuser,password=mypassword
//windowsserver/sharename /mnt/win"
/mnt/win is the directory you want the mapped content to appear. now just 'cd'
to that directory and 'ls'; you should see the files from the windows machine.

Hello,
Me again, I am trying to get the equivalent of Windows mapped drives on
Ubuntu 9.0.4, is it possible in Linux anyway.
This is the first linux box on an all windows network so I have started the
hard road to open source.
Maybe I can give my experiences at an upcoming LUG meeting, after a month
with Ubuntu :-)
Stephen
