Carl, You can mount automatically (but don't do this over the Internet because the password is transmitted in clear text):

I have done | this before with the smbmount command. It basically lets you mount a | CIFS/SMB filesystem to the Linux server for local access. In my case I | mounted a share, music folder, to my home directory, so that I could pull | MP3 streams on the road. It worked fine, except for the fact that when the | windows machine goes down, which happens often due to the built in stress | management system (blue screen), the mount has to be re-established. | | Lookup the man for smbmount. | | there are also some good docs on troubleshooting and step-by-step testing | and setup that will help you get off to the right start. | | carl | | -----Original Message----- | From: Chris Meister [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 9:01 AM | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: RE: Samba : Linux client to M$ Windows ? | | | | | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Van Den Abeele Kristof | Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 8:37 AM | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: Samba : Linux client to M$ Windows ? | | | First of all ,thanx you all for the hostname information... | | But I have already another question. | | I want to install samba & have read several docs & howto's .
