Mistake was mine - misinterpreted I guess. Below is a similar question raised on a Linux-Mandrake reflector that I subscribed to before going only debian. It may be of some help. Apologies to gurus and the readers at large - clearly a case of the blind leading the blind. I will try this against my own NT server later this weekend. -rick --------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2000 6:10 AM To: Giulio Orsero Cc: newbie@linux-mandrake.com Subject: [newbie] Re: smbmount question > On Tue, 10 Oct 2000 15:49:49 -0400, you wrote: > > I am using SMBMOUNT to mount an NT share.
