Assuming you're using bash, any one of the following should work: mount -t smbfs -o 'username=foo\bar',password=*** //proj/foo /proj/mnt/foo mount -t smbfs -o username='foo\bar',password=*** //proj/foo /proj/mnt/foo mount -t smbfs -o username=foo\\bar,password=*** //proj/foo /proj/mnt/foo Single quotes overrides shell expansion of variables and escape sequences -- which is where the '\' in your user name is causing problems. - PK > Related, does anyone know anything about having evolution only look at email > on a server at work when I have the VPN connection on? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Yakovac, Stony D > Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 2:39 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [gentoo-user] emerge time problem > > > I didn't set any CFLAGS on purpose.
