[TriLUG] Newbie Question about smbclient

[Mark Fowle]

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 --
