RE: Accessing Windows files

[Red Hat]

Title: Message

Create a windows share containing the documents you wish to access and then mount the windows share to your linux box.   On the RH box:   mkdir /mnt/docs mount -t smbfs -o username=<DOMAIN\\username>,password=<password>   //<windows server>/<share name>   /mnt/docs   Ex: You have a windows user named 'john' with a password of 'changeme' in a domain called ENGR. The windows server is called DEV1 and the windows shares is called 'documents'.   mount -t smbfs -o username=ENGR\\john,password=changeme //DEV1/documents /mnt/docs   Note: If you do not supply the password option on the command line it will prompt you for it.   Hope this helps, CC -----Original Message----- From: IS Department [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 1:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Accessing Windows files I have RedHat 8.0 loaded with Open Office.
