Mapping windows drives onto Unix

[Shane Nuessler]

Hi Aditya,
I use Samba on Linux to connect to Win2000 shares, authenticated within
a domain.

The command I use to mount a share:

smbmount //WINSERV/SHARE /home/mappedfolder -o rw,
username=username,password=password,uid=username

The smbmnt binary needs to have it's suid set, so does the smbumount so
users can mount/unmount
shares.

The mappedfolder should be owned by the user mounting the shared drive
onto it.

Edit the smb.conf file and make sure that the domain the users
authenticate against is set,
or use -W <domainname> on the end of the above command line to specify
the domain.

I've also set the following options in smb.conf.
   workgroup = <DomainName>
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
   server string =  MyWinServer  'server name shown to users in dialogs
   security = domain
   password server = <DomanAuthenticationServer>

Read man smb.conf for more info and other options.

Shane.
