For example a smb share could be using NTFS or FAT on a Windows machine, but equally could be using EXT2/3 on a Linux machine or XFS or a Solaris machine, etc. A quick question. Do you have the samba client software installed, as they would be needed to allow remote smb filesystems to work (in the same way as nfs client libraries are needed to allow mount to work with nfs shares). - -- Stuart Clark mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.Jahingo.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF6yqR+aecWiCY5VYRAu4aAJ4ntKFaH3c0uJzy+TTDcS30BDR8QwCdEoiD Am7ErZsRa3I17h8HXvJUILs= =V+KZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
