RedHat to see my NT shares.

[ferg]

Hi All,

Correct me if am wrong. But I don't think I need samba to see my NT4 or Win2000 server shares. Right? Wrong? If so can you point me in the right direction.

My RH8 box sits on the NT4 network, can ping and can be pinged.
What do I do to be able to open a network share and save files to it.

Thanks

Well, you can see whats on your windows nt machine without samba. If you mount the partition that its sits on. I think you would have to use samba to make the connection to the shares directly. smbclient -L hostname use that if your username and password are the same for windows and linux, try smbclient -U [username] -L [hostname] to supply a username and password. Smbmount would be used to actually mount the shares to the linux system smbmount //win_nt/filesystem /local mountpoint -o username=win-username. Hope that helps

i've heard you do

but it's part of redhat, so you should either have it already installed, or on the cd
