I don't even install the mount-cifs script. I simply put the share definition in /etc/fstab on the client, and then use the vanilla mount command. E.g., //192.168.0.2/backups /usr/local/remote_backups cifs noauto,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,user=root,pass=eetoot 0 0 [The above should be on 1 line.] Note that my real password for root is not "eetoot"; that is simply a fake password I set up for Samba shares. Whenever I need to transfer a backup archive to the server, I simply issue: mount /usr/local/remote_backups and then copy the data across. -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] ====================================================================== dwn...@ntlworld.com (David W Noon) ======================================================================
