smbmount Q

*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro*
from the linux prompt, if you have the kernel compiled to support smbmount
(most are) then use:

# mount //computer/share /mountpoint -t smbfs -o username=me -o
password=mypassword -o workgroup=NTdomain

where:
me = your windows username
mypassword = your windows password
NTdomain = the domain is the domain to login to, or use the name of the
windows machine, if you are using a local windows account on the machine.
i.e., to login to an NT workstation named nelson, as the administrator, with
a password of pass, and mount the C$ hidden share to the /net directory on
your linux box the command would be:

# mount //nelson/c$ /net -t smbfs -o username=administrator -o
password=pass -o workgroup=nelson
