Yikes.... i just tried it this way, and i was almost not able to unount the windows share! smbumount was refusing to unmount the share... the only way that worked was to beceome root, and umount the sharepoint... perhaps i was misunderstanding the documentation... weird..
i still wasn't able to write to the filesystem... i think that i will try to log into this machine from a pc on site, and see what happens thanks for the ideas!! dylan on 04.3.3 8:22 AM, Jonathan Stickel at [EMAIL PROTECTED] was reported to have writen: > I'm able to read and write to my department's windows (2000, I think) > shared folders by first mounting like this: > > $smbmount //server/share ~/mnt/share/ -o workgroup=WGRP username=user_name > > After entering my password when prompted, I can read and write to the > share through the mountpoint.
