Late reply, but anyway: What you *can* is the following: smbmount //servername/home /tmp/foo -o username=myuser,password=mypass mount --bind /tmp/foo/media /mnt/media/server umount /tmp/foo Or at least it works for me, at least with CIFS mounts. -- Magnus Holmgren [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
