Hello experts,
I am using Redhat 9 and want to mount a share folder that is located in a Win2K server machine. (I have an account already)
Can anyone show me how to do it?

It works
Can I mount it automatically every time I start?

add the command line to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local that may work

You might also try adding the share to the /etc/fstab. That would be more standard

quantumMoose,
Thanks for the answer. How can I mount a subdirectory under the share directory?
if I try to mount something like this "//machine/share/sub" I got an ERRnosuchshare Error

Strictly speaking, the smbclient program is trying to connect to listed shares on the server, and a subdirectory of the share is not considered a share. I do a similar thing on a machine in my domain, and the only solution I was able to come up with, if the user is not allowed to see //machine/share was to make a new share which pointed directly too //machine/share/sub to allow the mapping of this. In some cases this is impractical (for instance if you are mapping a users directory for every user in a large network). There are solutions for situations like this, let us know how you go though.
