This morning I made an interesting discovery.
If I am logged on as root (yes, I know, I don't like it either), and I enter:
'mount -t smbfs //IGOR/O /root/mnt/IGOR/O/'
and, of course, enter the correct XP password
I can access the XP files from the linux machine
Why can't I do this as a user? More importantly, what do I have to change to enable the process as a user?
Only root can run the mount command. Have a look at /etc/samba/smbfstab to have windows shares mount at boot time. I used this in the past with good results. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
