Gerald,

See http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/SambaMount and try using
smbmount instead of mount.  (Maybe mount can work, I've been successful
with smbmount.)

Try this...

mount -t smbfs -ousername=uname //jerry/C /mnt/jerry

it will prompt you for the password.

Hey, you guys are fantastic.
This worked also smbmount  //jerry/C /mnt/jerry -o  password='my_password'
Two correct answers, and both completely different. Ahhh the wonders of Linux.
