I'm still unable to get my Windows NT file server mounted for read and write. I can mount it with the "mount" command but the mountpoint is read only since it is owned by root and I cannot edit or save anything from KDE. I couldn't mount the file server volume with "smbmount".I have been rather blindly trying everthing that seems like it might work in /etc/fstab. I can find examples for mounting everything under the sun except a network file server. To sign onto my file server from Mac OS or Windows requires an ID and password. I have no idea how to handle this in /etc/fstab. My Windows NT server's name is "NT1" and the volume I want mounted is PCVol. I have created a directory at /mnt/NT1. Since I knew that if a CD or floppy was present, it is always mounted, I tried copying the options for the CDRom and Floppy without success: //NT1/PCVol /mnt/NT1 nfs noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 . After rebooting, the directory at /mnt/NT1 was still empty. Being unsure whether the File System Type should be "nfs" or 'smbfs", for my next attempt, I tried the following, still without success: //NT1/PCVol /mnt/NT1 smbfs noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 Finally, I tried a copy of options from other entries in fstab: //NT1/PCVol /mnt/NT1 nfs defaults 0 0 //NT1/PCVol /mnt/NT1 smbfs defaults 0 0 Following both of these attempts, I found /mnt/NT1 was still empty. After each attempt, I completely shut down the system and waited 15-20 second for the RAM to bleed off before turning the power back on and rebooting. I sure wish someone could tell me what to put in /etc/fstab.
