Does it work if you mount the share 'by hand' (mount -t smbfs -o username=foo,password=bar //mutt/d /mnt/mutt_d)? You show a "userid" option in your fstab. Is that a typo? I believe that should be "username." Do you have the smbfs module compiled (lsmod | grep smbfs)? Is smbfs a valid fstype (grep smbfs /proc/filesystems)? Is the D:\ drive on Mutt a hidden share? If so, try putting a $ after the remote filesystem column in the fstab (//mutt/d$). Does smbclient -L mutt -U show that Mutt has that share available? ~Jeff On Thursday, June 06, 2002 11:42 PM, Tom Achtenberg sent: > I'm trying to connect to a shared drive on an NT server named > mutt on my > internal network from my RH7.3 box.
