Sorry, I'll take one mo' stab at it. If you don't want the share to mount automatically you could add the "noauto" option to what I suggested previously, or else have a script or alias with a command similar the one below. Maybe a script is better than an alias, because you could hide it better. You should have the same username on both machines. This works for me using my name as a regular non-priveleged user on Linux and as a priveleged user on Win2K. No matter what you do, you'll need the password "pre-entered", otherwise you'll be prompted for it. At least that's my experiece. Note that the mount option is "smbfs", not "smb". mount -t smbfs -o username=yrs_truly,password=secret //windoze_machine/windoze_share /mnt/win_g --Phillip At 02:21 07/09/03 -0500, Justin Georgeson wrote: >That automounts the share at boot time, right?
