Hey friends, I have configured samba on few workstations and I want to map or mount certain directories which are on windows onto Linux workstations. Suppose there is a directory /backup/ankush under the machine sunserver means the path to this server will be //sunserver/backup/ankush and this directory is only accessible to user ankush and administrator only. I tried to mount this directory through mount -t smbfs -o username=ankush //sunserver/backup/ankush /backup/ankush the samba then asks for the password and after giving the correct password .It says access denied. They folder has the access for this user ankush and the password is also correct.I have to do such configuration on few workstations for particular users. Can anybody tell me how to mount this shared folder through smbfs and also that this folder is accessible for this user ankush not to any other user. If ankush has UID of 500 how to do it . Please guide me. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover ---------------------------> Maybe you should look at the following www.justlinux.com/nhf/Filesystems/Mounting_smbfs_Shares_Permanently.html roland
