Hmmm. That should work fine for accessing and writing files on the server. It may be that when you mounted the remote filesystem linux just made everything in the mount owned by root. Try doing an ls -l on the /mnt/ntshare directory and see who owns it and what permissions are on the files and directories. If they are owned by root then you either have to be root, or you have to give the mount command a special argument saying that all of the files should be owned by a particular user on your linux system. I think to do the latter (which has a few security tradeoffs IIRC) you can specify some arguments to mount specifying a user, or you can use the smbmount program to do it. I can't find the options for doing it with mount, but for smbmount it should be documented in the man page for the program. > Also, how do I execute that command line automatically during boot? The /etc/fstab file says where to load disks and remote filesystems into your directory tree. I don't know the exact syntax but googling for "samba /etc/fstab" or something similar should get you much closer to accurate information on that. > Also, it would be handy if I could do a refresh by repeating the > command by simply clicking on a KDE desktop Icon before looking in the > folder. > > What I've been trying to do is use Konqueror to communicate with PCVol > on NT1.
