Mandrake has samba installed by deafult... server: I configured it through linuxconf... samba server.. add shares.. this allows you to make a directory on u're machine sharable by others thru samba.. and u're machine will come up as NT server 4.1 on other windoze machines! client: this simple command will mount a remote samba directory ... smbmount //$1/$2 $HOME/samba/$1/$2 -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWD,ip=$1,workgroup=WORKGROUP This is part of my script.. so $1 is the name of the machine (assuming you have aliases set for that machine), $2 is the directory (drive) on that machine that you want to mount.. say C, D or F or whatever.. once you run this, it'll be mounter in u're home directory under samba/$1/$2.. ofcourse you can change it. I found another cool program to mount/unmount samba shares.. its called LinNeighborhood .. search it on sourceforge.net .. it shows a nice GUI with all your neighborhood machines and u can just right click and mount it.. default is again ~/samba/MACHINE_NAME/SHARE_DRIVE_LABEL -sarang
