- succes.

- this is how-to let a wintendo mashine deliver home-dirs to a linux box.

- on win: create the share, name it (say) wintendo. Create a user named root, 
give him a password, set it to never expire and it should not be changed 
uppon first login. Give this user root all rights to the wintendo share.

- fire up Konqueror, type in an URL like this: 
SMB://IP-of-win-machine/wintendo

-and check that root has access and all.
Close konqueror.


Now, on the Linux box, edit /etc/fstab. Comment out the mount for /home (you 
DID put that on a partition for itself, right?).


Add a line to fstab:

(the next two lines is in fact ONE line in fstab...
//IP-of-windows-machine/wintendo /home cifs   
rw,user=root,password=very-secret  0 0

On the linux box, as root, create a dir like this: mkdir /home

Now, as root, reread /etc/fstab, do it with mount -a

Go into YaST. Create a new user, name him whatever, and see that his home-dir 
indeed now resides on the win-box.

- thanks to the list again for directing me !

Best regards,
Verner
