The man gives this cmd line syntax:

smbmount {service} {mount-point} [-ooptions]

But it doesn't tell what {service} is or give any
syntax. Think I can hack the {mount-point}.
Googled
for samba service but found nothing to help. Would
someone please tell me the usage and syntax for
the
service entry in the command?
TIA,

BTW, the uusage output shows a "-n" in the cmd
line
before the options and has no entry for it in the
man.

Take a look at smbfs.

I use it in the following fashion:
mount -t smbfs -o
username=<user>,password=<pass> //10.0.0.23/<samba
mount point> /mnt/<local mount point>

Good luck

Thanks Nick, but didn't work for me. Probably
something I did wrong, so here's what I typed on cli:


lchata@ubuntu64:~/Documents$ man smbfs
No manual entry for smbfs
lchata@ubuntu64:~/Documents$ sudo mount -t smbfs -o
username=lchata,password=xxxxxx //192.168.1.65/lchata
/mnt/media/samba
Could not resolve mount point /mnt/media/samba
lchata@ubuntu64:~/Documents$

Dir /media/samba does exist. What could be wrong?
