"mount -t smbfs -o username=USER,workgroup=DOMAIN,password=PASS //BORG/SHARE /mnt/somewhere" will mount an SMB share called SHARE on server BORG using credentials USER, DOMAIN, and PASS. Most of the time, people forget the workgroup= option. Note that you can also try -t cifs , which may work better. Or not. Try both. Using cifs, you'd say "user=USER,domain=DOMAIN". If neither one works right, then add "port=139" to the options, since sometimes it won't fail over to that port when 445 doesn't work. > If your friend is strictly in a command line environment (no X > running) then there isn't any way to view graphics files. You're forgetting aalib :-) But yeah, no X = no graphics, pretty much. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
