I know about samba [kindov] but anyone got any suggestions on how I would mount a windows share from my Linux box?

ie

mnt /windows/machine/share /share

I want to serve content off a windows machine

mount -t smbfs -o username=<name>,password=pw //netboisname/sharename /mountpoint

Is that what you are looking for?

Sure is - excellent work!


Any issues with scripting this to run at startup?

linuxquestions standard answer number 34b)

add a line to /etc/fstab:

//server/share /mnt/something smbfs user=xxx,pass=xxx

please SEARCH the forums for information before asking questions

Why bother even replying sad sack? Do you realise that you wasted more time typing that response and being an arse that giving me a proper explanation?

knob

erm.. that IS a proper explanation...

sorry for the ters response - I just read your profile - I didn't realise that you were just some kid from uni -

woah there, i'm sure you're a very clever and important person in your world, but everyone is equal here, and you already agreed to the rules of this site which include "# Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated." which i ceratinly consider this to be. my answer was perfectly accurate and to the point. I was simply also implying that the last dozen times it was asked the answers were also similarily accurate and to the point. This site is a great resource of information, not just a place to ask questions without researching yourself first. I'm sure you would agree with the main contributers of this site that people ask the same questions again and again. i just guess that your sense of humour is not quite on a par with mine. maybe one day you'll get there ;-) Maybe you'd be interested in reading the first link in my signature, and you can see in great detail what everyone get's frustrated about on mailing lists and forums. my answer may not have seemed terribly polite from where you are sitting, but it's 100% correct, and helpful.

and terse has an e at the end of it.

thanks.
