Greetings groovers.
I'm a Linux newbie trying to connect my red hat 8.0 (2.4.20-20.8 kernel) to a shared dir on a win 2k server.
The results of my web searches so far all point to the same thing - use smbmount to mount the share. Fine, except my machine tells me that "smbmount: command cannot be found". I tried using the man pages, same deal - it doesn't exist.
So, where to go from here? Do I go back to the original 8.0 kernel or is there something I am missing.
Any help will be greatly apreciated.
Thank you oh wise ones.

mount -t smbfs -0 username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD /dev/hdaX /path/you/want/to/mount/to

I'm not sure if you actually need samba installed for mount to be able to read a smbfs drive or not. give it a shot
