| You have two options. One is to put samba in your kernel( builtin or as module) and that will allow you to mount smb shares(just secify smbfs as the type). Or you could emerge samba and then use smbclient to navigate the samba shares, similarily to ftp. |

i would suggest you to activate 'smbfs' in your kernel and then emerge samba.
then the only thing you need to do is: | Code: | | mount -t smbfs //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/sharepoint /mnt/mywinshare -o username=myshareusername |
or
| Code: | | mount -t smbfs //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/sharepoint /mnt/mywinshare -o username=myshareusername,password=mysharepassword |
or add it directly to your /etc/fstab:
| Code: | # <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
//192.168.0.1/somedir /mnt/somedir smbfs noauto,username=root 0 0
//192.168.0.1/somedir2 /mnt/somedir2 smbfs noauto,username=root 0 0 |
and then you just need to mount /mnt/somedir or /mnt/somedir2.
if you want, you could add as well the password to the /mnt/fstab file, but i would not suggest you that.
cheers

maybe you want to have a look at the different shares
have a search for xsmbrowser, the browser i prefer for windowshares, cause it allows me to have a look into the dirs without mounting them before, a think i couldn't find else where |

If you do add it to your fstab, I would suggest that you add noauto as an option, unless the sahres you're mounting are on a stable server. |

as you see, i added the noauto option. but hey! if you runing samba as your smb server, then i don't see a reason to be affraid of 'unstable' servers
