Connecting LINUX to NT server

OK - I'm trying to do it back to front. We have an NT box (several in fact...) which are part of two domains (admin and teaching) If pupils use LINUX it would be handy if they could connect to their NT account. Root can create a 'mount' using mount -t smbfs //netserver/usershare /home/username/NTmount but ordinary users can't create mounts in this manner. And administrators can't do it faor them as they don't know the passwords. Is there a way to allow users to connect to NT shares with SAMBA? -- Alan Davies Head of Computing Birkenhead School
