Hi all,

	On the subject of mounting network windows shares, I figured out something cool last night. If anyone's ever tried mounting, say, their work fileserver and it runs Windows Server 2003, they've gotten an error about packet signing being disabled (assuming you're doing something like mount -t smbfs //path/to/share). There is actually a separate mount.cifs program which is included with grml (and thus most likely Debian). Slackware doesn't have it, but if you google for "cifs vfs" you'll find it. What I can now do for my school's network drive is the following... though it's on GRML so it'll be a bit different for you people.
mkdir /mnt/cifs
mount -t cifs -o user=ima74a,uid=1000,gid=1000 //domain.isbrockets.org/students /mnt/cifs
This gives me access to, amung other things, my home directory on the school's network. Very cool indeed!
