Jay: If you don't have an answer by the morning I'll give you the setup from my office - I can't remember it exactly off the top of my head, but it works just the way it should.

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.

Thanks in advance...
