Hi Linux Masters,

I just want to ask for your help on how
to mount as network drive the Windows Shared folder to my RHEL 3 Linux.

thanks!

you are aware that rhel3 is UNSUPPORTED
and so is RHEL4

redhat dose not even support it
rhel3 had 7 years of support and rhel4 had 10 years of support and it is over

you might want to call redhat and install RHEL 7.0

Hi Sir,

Thank you for your response to my inquiry.
Unfortunately my company is still using this RHEL version
but fortunately we have ongoing migration plan to RHEL6 for
this server.

But earlier I made a successful mount of windows network shared
to our RHEL3 (please see below)

mount.smbfs //ip address/shared /u04 -o username=usser,password=password

thank you very much!
regards,
yohey

Your company needs to get some better technical people working for them, if they're suggesting you 'upgrade' to a version of RHEL that is STILL old. RHEL 7 is the latest...upgrading to anything less is almost pointless, since you're already planning on downtime and upgrade expenses. Loading an old version is just plain dumb.

Great...so are you saying you DID this, or you still need help???
