This is an excellent idea. In investigating this, however, I have found that I can not even do the following: -------------------------------------------------------------------- mount -t smbfs -o username=skidmore,password=xxx //sheltie/linux /root/mnt/sheltie/linux execvp of smbmnt failed. Error was No such file or directory.smbmnt failed: 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- I can assure you that "/root/mnt/sheltie/linux" exists, and if I do the following with 'smbclient', I can connect. (I can also mount '//sheltie/linux' using the GUI 'xSMBrowser')
------------------------------------------ [root@mail skidmore]# smbclient //sheltie/linux -U skidmore%xxx added interface ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nmask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Got a positive name query response from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ( xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ) smb: \> ls .
