Sharity Light does exactly that: mounting SMB drives onto Unix, although the last time I wanted to use it, it didn't work (auth problems). I did the job another way without going deep in the subject. Anyway, I think the problem was the same I subsequently saw discussed by Tatsumi Hosokawa (the Samba maintainer) during the installation of a recent port of Samba: something in authentication has changed in latest Windows releases (NT+SP3/4, etc.). I don't remember what the solution was, but probably there's a similar solution for Sharity Light too. --- Stefano Riva Software Engineer - System Administrator Informazioni Editoriali I.E.
