[ILUG] Samba

[Conor Daly]

Jason,

Correct me if I'm wrong (nah!-)...

You have your Linux box shared now and various NT boxes also have shares
available.  Now you want to be able to access those shares from your Linux
box.  Assuming you don't want to export these shares with samba (why would
you since they're already shared unless you want to have access control for
them) you can just mount them on the linux box using the mount command.

mount -t smbfs //<NT_SERVER>/<SHARE> /mnt/<MOUNT>/<POINT>

and include a -o username, password and whatever other options are required.
Do a "man smbmount" and "man smbmnt" for details.

If you *do* want to share them with samba, just create a share for the mount
point and away you go...
