[Voyage-linux] Samba on Voyage Linux

[Joe.Kelly]

Punky,

1) On the fly mounting command:
smbmount //some_host/some_share /mnt/some_mount_point -o
"username=user%password"

2) Fstab mounting:
//some_host/some_share /mnt/some_mount_point smbfs credentials=/etc/.smbpw 0
0

3) Server is Windows 2000 Pro.

BTW, we tried Voyage Linux in production yesterday, on a Soekris net4801 box
configured as a multi-WAN router. So far, it works great! Thanks!

Cheers,
Joe
