Personally, I use LinNeighbourhood to browse and mount shares, though you must have the Samba client installed. You can use LinNeighbourhood to export a 'mountscript' and then bind that script to a key set or to an icon. In the end, looks something like this: #! /bin/sh # SMB mount script # created by LinNeighborhood smbmount //NODE2/backup /home/joehill/mnt/NODE2/backup/ -o username=xxxx Then of course to unmount: #! /bin/sh # SMB mount script # created by LinNeighborhood smbumount /home/joehill/mnt/NODE2/backup/ This way, you don't have to fire up LinNeighbourhood or some other app every time you want to mount a remote share, you just hit a coupla keys and yer in. -- JoeHill / RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 19:26:31 up 5 days, 21:29, 10 users, load average: 0.14, 0.04, 0.03 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." -- Hunter S.
