Always remember: Without google, linux itself would be impossible :-) Back on cifs mounts, I discovered that the man page claims // or \\ works equally well for share names, but in fact I couldn't get it to work at all with //. The script I use at work to mount windows shares on my linux box has this line: mount -t cifs -o credentials=/dev/fd/4 -o domain=iccur -o ro -o uid=$unix_me -o gid=$unix_me \\\\intranet\\public /intranet/public Lots of escaped backslashes to wind up with the right number for whoever cares down inside the cifs mount code.
