Hi Rich Yes, I've tried various ways of using samba on the client side: smb4k, xffm etc. and experienced a variety of problems I've found the best way to ensure 'safe' reading and writing of files to samba shares is to ensure that the cifs module is loaded - I use modconf, and setup the mounts within /etc/fstab: # smbclient configuration //server/share /smb/share cifs credentials=/home/user/.smb_pass,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0 you'll need to create the .smb_pass file as follows: username=<username> password=<password> and $ chmod 600 .smb_pass On the client you need smbclient and smbfs installed. Instead of creating the directory /smb as I did, you could use /mnt which I believe is the prescribed approach in FHS (File Hierarchy System) Regards Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
