It is definitely possible to access any directory your windows machine shares. I'm not sure this is the *easiest* way to set it up, but the following works for me. In /etc/fstab, I have the following entry: # network drives //host/dir /mnt/somedir smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/auth 0 0 And file /etc/samba/auth holds: username = simon domain = password = mypasswd With this setup, the windows share is mounted on boot. I can read the mounted dir as any user, but can only write to it as user "root". I'm sure that samba provides options to allow writing as normal users, which is what you want. I just haven't needed to set it up that way. Cheers, Simon
