[SOLVED] Samba: how to mount windows XP disk on Linux Slackware Server

ethereal1m · 07-21-2010, 02:14 AM

Dear all,
I have a Samba server running on Slackware 13.0 and its service running with diskspace mounted on a Windows XP machine. Is it possible to mount the XP diskspace on the Samba server? Is yes, could anybody give me a pointer on how to do it?

regards,

yes, just create your shared folders in the windows machine, and use the command "mount" like this:

Code:

mount -t cifs //<windows-machine-name/<shared-folder-name> <directory>

perhaps you will need to enter an username and password. details here:

Code:

man mount

I look at man mount.cifs, the command is part of samba suite. Do I need to add additional service configuration for windows in smb.conf file? Does this command work for XP?

ok so I execute:

Code:

smbmount //Serenity/ShareDocs /mnt/windows/ -o username=ethereal1m,password=mypasswd, rw

Before that use Windows Resource kit tool to do :

Code:

net user ethereal1m /active:yes
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u ethereal1m
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u ethereal1m

BAM! works... thanks for the help
