What you can do is create 2 directories in your home directory. One has to be called .smb, and you will need to create fusesmb.conf file. You will also need a mount point for all the Windows shares. For this discussion, we will use a directory called Windows. The format of the fusesmb.conf file is covered in the fusesmb.conf man page. It can be as simple or as complicated as you want. Here is an example: [global] username=mikkel password=Password [ignore] servers=PAT It uses user name mikkel for all servers, with a password of Password. The server PAT is ignored. (I don't have access to any shares on PAT, so I want to ignore it.) You can also specify username/password for each machine and/or each share. Now, to get the shares I do have access to mounted, I run: fusesmb ~/Windows Now, under Windows, you will find a directory (or directories) for your workgroup. Under the workgroup, you will find a directory for each machine. Under the machine will be a directory for each share on that machine that you can access. You can also use cifs (mount.cifs) to mount Windows/Samba shares. This requires root permission, or an entry in /etc/fstab with the user(s) option. For sharing file systems between Linux machines, you may also want to look into the sshfs. (man sshfs) It is probably overkill on a private network, but it does allow sharing files over a secure connection. One other option is using nfs. It will let all the machines mount files from a server. But I don't believe Windows has a nfs server installed by default. It is also takes a bit of work to set up. I think that running Samba and fusesmb or cifs will probably work best for you, at least to start. You may want to play more after you have the basic setup working for you. Remember, you can run more then one file sharing protocal at the same time. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
