configure samba
I need to install Sophos antivirus on a Linux box (RedHat 7.3) using the CID on a Windows box, it must get its updates from the Windows box. How do I mount a Windows share on a Linux box?what configurations must I make in the smb.conf file?
This is part of the instructions I must follow:
If the CID is to be accessed by file sharing,then set up a mount point for a directory on a suitable server which can be accessed from all the UNIX machines to be installed/upgraded, and which can also be accessed from the server which downloads Sophos Anti-Virus for UNIX filesvia EM Library."
Please assist

Say
Your Windows domain/workgroup is "group"
Windows box hostname : win2k
The share CD name is : \\win2k\cd (allow everyine readable)
On you Linux box:
Edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf
---
Workgroup = group <=== your domain/workgroup
---
As root,
mkdir /tmp/cd; mount -t smbfs //win2k/cd /tmp/cd
Then
cd /tmp/cd
and run setup file there.
