[TriLUG] Newbie Question about smbclient

[Robert Baker]

Mark,

Thanks that worked great. Just had to re-login as root to do it.

Is there a way to make this connection persistent? 
So every time I login it will be there?

Do I have to edit the smb.conf or samba.conf file to accomplish this?

I don't have an smb.conf file in the /etc dir.
Do I have to create one?

Thanks

If you are connecting to the Windows share from the linux box, its just a
regular mount -

mount -t smbfs -o username=w2kusername,password=w2kpassword
//w2kbox/share /mnt/linuxdirectory


You will have to user a valid username and password for the W2K box --
