Re: [Sheflug] Samba : Can i shared windows machine in Samba

Hi Kimball,

I think you are making samba mounting a bit more difficult than you need to.
In my case I have made a directory on the linux machines for each of the
windoze machines and use the command format

smbmount <//windoze machine and drive> <mountpoint>

so, in the case of your machine I would do:-

smbmount //gandalf/c /gandalf

Best wishes,
Ian
