I have installed Suse Linux 8.0 in my desktop. In our organization there are no other Linux machines and all network printers and file servers are connected and based on Windows. How can I access printers in the network and access the windows network file system? I couldn't find any details in any of my searches in the manuals, how-to-files and linux lists. There are a lot of discussion on how to configure a linux machine as server and how to access it from a windows machine, etc but not vice versa. Thanks in advance for the help.
samba-client is your friend!!! man smbmount read docs in /usr/share/doc/packages/samba 1. to access to win printers you should configure new printer in yast2 (hardware/edit printers) and choose Samba/Windows printer 2. to mount win shared folders you should (a) use LinNeighborhood package or (b) use directly smbmount I use such a script to mount my network folder (remember about rights to mount smb file system) #! /bin/bash # the line(s) bellow must be in one line in script smbmount //AMOR/Files /mnt/AMOR/Files -o credentials=/usr/local/etc/pass.amor,uid=emcek,gid=users,fmask=644,dmask=755,iocharset=iso8859-2,codepage=cp852 Regards, -- Emcek emcek@poczta.onet.pl
