Ok, I have been all over the web trying to find out how to "map a drive" to another system in Linux.

Is the command I use for mapping a drive to another system in Linux nmap?

It's driving me bananas!

You mean mount a network shared drive? You're looking for samba (smbclient if you're just the client) for Windows shares or NFS if it's a linux share.

nmap is a network auditing tool. Mainly it's used as a port scanner.

Ok, thanks, an once I get that done I edit my hosts.allow file to share my system, correct?

I've only ever created a samba share. So I only had to allow one directory to be shared and I could configure that in /etc/samba/smb.conf.

you need to be a little more specific. are you trying to mount a shared folder from another computer? what OS is that other computer running? what OS are you running? (fedora, debian, ubuntu, etc). depending on your OS, to mount a shared folder on a remote windows computer, you could do something like this:

where //192.168.1.15/folder is the shared folder you want to connect to, and /mnt/folder is the local folder you want to mount it in. obviously, change the IP address and "folder" to match whatever you are connecting to. if you want it to always mount automatically when you reboot, you could add this to your /etc/fstab file:

depending on how the folder is shared, you may also need to provide a username and password. if that is the case, post up and I'll show you how to provide those.
