Shell Programming and Scripting

Scott I really think we should wait to see what error message is produced... coming back to the essential, to mount you should be root no? What difference is there between a smbfs and a NFS fs from a unix point of vue when it comes to mount? To me I see no real difference so I am wondering if the user/passwd that you usually never give when you mount -t is the real issue... but I may be wrong had too much wine and fighting with a strange date bug (with cal extract in a script between AIX and HP (same script result are different and one runs the 31 and the other the 1rst Jan, days off here...)

OK

BTW, you don't need to be root to use mount.
