How to mount a Windows SMB drive from a linux box.
- Linux Box must be on same subnet
- must have identical account on Windows share and Linux (ie:dmiyares must be setup on the Windows NT share and the linuxbox as a valid user)
- login to the linux box using the account name that you have on the SMB machine. Change to root (since you can't mount as a user)
- issue the command mount -t smbfs //hubble/DEMG /mnt/DEMG This will then mount a share on Hubble called DEMG to a local linux mount called /mnt/DEMG. This assumes that both are valid directories and the user name you are logged into on the linux box is valid
- You'll be prompted for a password. This is what ever password you use to log into the Penton Netowrk
You can get a list of shares on any computer by issuing the command
smbclient -L servername

UPDATE:mount -t smbfs //audiobox/DOWNLOADS /mnt/DOWNLOADS/ -o username='username',password=password
This will mount a share called Downloads on a box called Audiobox using the username (on the remote box) of username & password of password. This works VERY nicely
