I have a Windows file server with multiple shared drives, NTFS formatted. I need the Linux servers I have (all running CentOS 5) to be able to connect-to and access data on the Windows file shares.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how I can go about doing this?<br />
<br />
Both the Windows and Linux servers have no LDAP authentication happening at present. The Windows Server is powered by SBS 2008, so I'm assuming the Linux server will need to authenticate with the Windows AD before it can connect to the share? If so, how can I go about doing this too please?<br />
<br />
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
