Mount windows partitions remotely

[Nigel Weeks]

You certainly can. I do all day every day.
use something like:
mount -t smbfs -o username=guest,password=guest //windowsserver/sharename
/linuxbox/path/to/mount

Unsure you leave out hte last slashes on the paths
If you've got a  Domain controller on the windows network, and samba knows
about it, you'll have to set up the user on the PDC.
Otherwise, it's just the username and password you set on the share.
Oh, watch out for 98 and NT - sometimes the password encryption is different
to 95. It's all in the samba docs.

Have fun:-)

I think you can just share the files like you would for any Win9x client,
then use samba in linux to mount the SMB filesystem.
