How to remotly mount smbfs from a windows m/c

[Sajan Sathyan]

Hi,

The smb.conf parameter for password authentication is

security = domain.
encrypt password = yes
 
I need to mount a Windows NT share on a linux m/c using smbmount.
The problem I have is to iniate this from a Windows m/c I am using rsh to do
this.

If I run the command from linux prompt 
$ smbmount //$MCNAME/dev $HOME/dev -o username=username,rw 
it prompts for the password and it works fine if I supply the correct
Windows NT Domain password.
	
If I use rsh from windows it prompts for password
c:> rsh linuxmc -l username smbmount //%COMPUTERNAME%/dev   /home/user/dev
-o username=username,rw 
it prompts for the password when I enter the password it is also echoed on
the terminal which does not happen on windows. and  I also get the following
error.

session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)

SMB connection failed

I also have a problem in linux . 
$ smbmount //$MCNAME/dev $HOME/dev -o username=username,password=password,rw
I get the same error I get with rsh.

session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)

SMB connection failed

Is there a way I can supress the password prompting in smbmount.

Thanks in advance

Sajan.
