I've found mount.cifs to be a perpetual annoyance. If the slightest thing is wrong with your command line, the mount will fail, and it will report a misleading error. (The version on my Debian box isn't any better than the version we have in mvpmc, either.) In my dongle.bin.config I have a couple of lines like: # mount media drive mkdir /mythtv && mount.cifs //mythtv/data /mythtv -o guest; and that same command seems to worth with both a Samba server and a Windows XP box. (It took a bit of tweaking on the Samba side to get guest access to work. Understandably, modern installations don't enable such access by default.) -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
