Mounting a Windows Share on Linux Server

[jbarnhar]

OK, hope you guys can help me out....

I'm running VMware on a Windows Server 2003. I've installed Fedora 7 on the VM - machine. So both are operating on the same Windows server.....

Fedora is running fine through the VMware software. I would like to mount a windows share to the Linux server to get documents passing back and forth....

I am able to do it using Gnome and put the share on the Desktop, but can't seem to get the mount to work at the command line level.....

I have several scripts that needs to be able to access a mount point at the command line level....

First, does smbmount come as part of the initial install, cuz I can't find the command on the system. Also, SMB isn't running as a process on the server....

I've read that I need to issue this command

smbmount //<server name>/<share> /<mnt point>

Any help would be appreciated....

I have a simmilar problem. But I hear that smbmount is not supported by fedora anymore. I am currently looking for something similar.

try this :
mount -t cifs -o username=$login,password=$pass,nosetuids "$fullpath" "$mountname"

refert to this for more info :

Thanks for the help.....

I tried: mount -t cifs -o username=administrator,password=<password>,nosetui ds "//<machines ip addr>/<share name>" "/<linux created mount point>"

and I received: mount error 13 - permission denied

Any ideas......

I'm just trying to mount to the windows share, which is on the same server that my VMware/Linux software is running????

Desperate.....

Thanks for help

How do I make the mount point auto-mount after a system reboot?
