I am not using Samba (at least I didn't load it... may be there by default???) - To map the drive I have a line in my /etc/fstab file that reads: # Device #Mountpoint FSType OPtion //user@server/share /ftproot smbfs rw.nosuto 0 0 Once the server boots, I type "mount /ftproot" and then it asks me for the password for User. After the password is entered, /ftproot contains the contents of the share on my XP system. It was one of the things that I fell in love with about BSD - the ability to "see" XP shares with no special "magic". So anyway - I think there are several different approaches to this. Can I modify my fstab file so that "auto" would work by somehow specifing a password? Or is there a password option that I am missing in the mount or mount_smbfs commands? OR... is there a reason I don't have the smbmount command? Thank you for all your help!
