[ILUG] mount ?

[Martin_McNelis at dell.com]

I'm having a problem with this on Slackware 7.1, however, my problem is that
I can't even
mount the share manually.  I keep getting a message to the effect that the
smbfs file
system is not recognised by the kernel.  I have no problem mounting shares
from my linux
box on my Windows system, just not the other way round.

I never had this problem with Redhat...

Something very like fstab - fstab :-)  Just put in a line like this

//pc_name/sharename	/mount_pt	smbfs
username=whoever,password=whatever
