One more addition. I have switched ISPs (from dsl to cable) since the problem began, and it has made no difference. I am assuming it is a problem with the linux box (unless it could be a problem with...

This problem is still persisting. Anyone have any new suggestions?

zazzybob: Your answer did not help. My script works fine. I just want to know why that error appears. When I use smbmount, I get the same errors.

Also, does anyone know how to get Samba to...

echo Enter password:
stty -echo

One more question, though. Is there anyway to upload the Windows drivers to the linux box so that it can serve...

I want to use my linux box as a print server for my hp printer. I downloaded the linux driver for the printer and installed it. I also configured CUPS and printed a test page with it. Samba is...

I remember back in school on sh shell with SCO Unix V that I was able to make a similar script. Surely, there must be a way, no?

I have a shell script (bash shell) that just has a cd command, but when it runs, the directory does not change. How can I get this to work?

Nevermind, I got it:)

stty -echo

Nevermind, I got it. I had to create /mnt/samba. Thanx anyways.

This is pretty awesome. Now I can access my windows box by PUTTYing (ssh) into my linux box and mounting the root share on the w2k...

mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=mypass //machine/share /mnt/samba

and I get this: Could not resolve mount point /mnt/samba

How do I mount a Windows 2K share on Redhat Linux?

I tried this: mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=mypassword //machine/share

But it just returns the help for the mount command:(

Does Redhat 9 come with an IMAP server? If so, how do I set it up?

so i should call the script from rc.local?

Got it. I had to configure Samba:).
