Suppose you are user 'Jean' on your Windows machine,"WINDOZE" and you use a password of "foo". You want to get to the Windows share called "MYSHARE" and mount it locally on your FBSD box on /mnt. Then the command is: mount_smbfs //JEAN@WINDOZE/MYSHARE /mnt You'll get prompted for a password and, when you enter it, the mount will be established. You can automate this whole business by learning how to populate the /etc/nsmb.conf file with the right stuff. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
