I don't quite know what you mean here. if you mean the netbios name of your machine, -n option to smbmount should set it. if you mean the username the -U option to smbmount should set it. if you don't trust smbmount, look at the event viewer on the NT machine, the security log shows failed logons. good luck greg -- this is not here
