Ah. Thanks. One more question: I can now access the Linux machine from the windows machine, but I'd like to enter the windows drives (there are there physical drives on the windows box) into Fstab to be able to mount them from the linux machines. I couldn't see how to do this in man fstab - can anyone push me in the right direction?
//server/share /mountpoint smbfs username=user,password=pass 0 0 you can add other options if you want different behaviour. The most common ones are "uid" and "gid" if you want the samba shared files and directories owned by a special user, the default is root. "fmask" and "dmask" if you want to specify permissions on directories and files. "man smbmount" lists all the options you can play with. "man mount" has the general options you can use, like "noauto" and "user". regards Anders -- `When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'
