You have to do this for all the windows shares. For fstab entry //windows_machine/share_folder /linux_mount/directory smbfs credentials =/etc/.smb 0 0 in /etc/.smb file username = windows_username(valid windows user) password =windows username's password If your trying to access win2k3 shares you will receive errors for win2k3 shares use CIFS mount -t cifs //windows_machine/share_folder /linux_mountpoint/directory -o username=windows_user then it will ask for the password For fstab entry replace smbfs with cifs in the previous entry.
