Tom,
Samba was installed by the Red Hat (7.2) installer when the system was
originally configured. Since I am not using a self-compiled version of
Samba, do I still need to do this? Should I try do see if it solves the
problem anyway?

//sheltie/linux exists on windows. It can be accessed
from both Windows (using Network Neighborhood) and from
Linux (using smbclient or the xSMBrowser GUI).
Do I have to do anything special with the mount point on
the Linux side (/home/skidmore/linux), other than to make
sure it exists?

I received the same error message after setting up a mount point in my
home directory: /home/
I tried the command you sent and used the quotes. Below
is the result, i.e., the same error message:
[root@mail skidmore]# /usr/sbin/smbmount "sheltie\\linux"

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

Mike,
Thanks, I will take a look at this. What I was realling looking for,
however, was a way to do the mount at boot rather than at logon. So
far none of the posted suggestions have worked for me.

When the system (Red Hat 7.2) is booting with the above line in fstab, it
hangs up at the following point:

I am trying to mount a Windows share on my Linux machine at boot time.
I tried using the same syntax in /etc/fstab that is in /etc/mtab, but
this did not work.
Here is the mtab entry:
//DELL-4400/linux /root/mnt/DELL-4400/linux smbfs 0 0

I tried to use this same syntax in fstab that I used in mtab, and the
mount failed when I rebooted.
Any help with the proper syntax would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I have a Windows share that I would like to mount at boot time, but am
uncertain what syntax to use in /etc/fstab. The entry in /etc/mtab is the
following:
//DELL-4400/linux /root/mnt/DELL-4400/linux smbfs 0 0
Do I just use the same syntax in fstab?
Thanks,

John,
The problem I seem to be having is that the members of the WORKGROUP
do not appear stabily: they disappear and reappear when the WORKGROUP
window is refreshed over a span of about 5 minutes. The Linux server
appears only rarily, so I am not surprised that I am having problems

I have started to use SWAT to configure Samba, and can now see the Linux
server within the WORKGROUP, but am still unable to see any of the shares.
Within SWAT, when you view the 'Status' of Samba, and look at the 'Active
Shares' area, should you be able to see all of the shares that are

Well, I changed the network logon password on the Windows machine (had
to reinstall the client for Microsoft Networking), and I seem to have
gone backwards in terms of progress: I now can not even see the

So, shouldn't I be able to see my home directory (skidmore) under 'Mail'
