You realluy should avoid making remote connections to any machine as the superuser (Linux-root/Windows-Administrator) unless you are working over a secure connection. It may be safe in some situations, but it's generally a bad habit. Setup a user normal user account on Linux that matches a normal user account on Windows (same username and password). Then make smbmnt setuid: chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmnt You should then be able to use smbmount as a normal Linux user to connect to sahres on Windows machines. When logged into Windows, you should also bne able to connect to shares on the Linux box. Tony - -- Anthony E.
