Topic: mounting to RH8.0 general help

[Theo]

Sorry, i just needed some general help mounting my SME filesystem  (just the public area where pub_html, files, cgi-bin are located) to my desktop machine running RH 8.0. Do I do that via NFS or is there a better way? I can do alot in linux, but for some reason have never done this before. Thanks, Theo

if you want to mount a directory on your redhat what is residing on your sme server try :

man mount

or if you are lazy try this

mount -t smbfs -o username=NAMEHERE //smeservername/sharename /mnt

You will be asked for the password then you will have mounted the sme share on /mnt




Have a nice day

Actually, use of "smbmount" tends to be much simpler than going directly to the mount command. If you set the smbmnt command to be suid root, users can manage their smb mounts much like on a windows box.

ie. smbmount //server/share localdirectory
