Hello again =)

As i seem to be an endless source of questions, you keep beeing my endless sourse of solutions so thanks in advace for the help

I am running a Red Hat Linux 9 as a proxy in a win98 network.

I usually access the shares of the windows machines through the smbclient command, but now i need to mount some of the shares in order to make them accesible from the internet through FTP.

How can i mount the shares of the windows boxes ?

make an entry in /etc/fstab

here's an example for you, i have a similar setup, and my fstab contains the line:

Code:

//patsy/psc    /home/psc/smb    smbfs    uid=1000,gid=100,credentials=/root/patsy  0  0

where:
uid 1000 = user 'psc'
gid 100 = group 'users'

now the file /root/patsy contains:

Code:

username = psc
password = mypass

and has permissions 400 for root:root

I changed it so that root is the owner of the folder and everything is working just perfect.

Now i will start fighting with proftpd :P

Thank you very much !
