use SAMBA to access NT share?

[tmaz]

Would it be possible to set up the smbclient to automatically mount a
Windows NT share for a specific user upon login? If so, what steps would
need to be taken. I tried using the mount command with smbfs option on my
linux system, but couldn't seem to get it to work even though I was using a
step-by-step how to.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,

Without seeing what you have, it's hard to say what is going wrong. Would
you prefer that the mount take place at boot or during login?

Read the man pages on fstab, you will add something like,

//computer_name/share /mnt/dir smbfs username=uname,password=pass,noauto

The noauto is if you do *not* want it to mount automatically. I don't know
what kind of permissions, etc. you want on the mount so I'll leave that up
to you.

What command are you typing to perform the mount? Can you connect to the
computer using smbclient? Have you configured /etc/samba/smb.conf and
family? Post a little more about what isn't working and what you have done.

Hope this help...
