I'm trying to access files on a networked Windows machine from my linux box (CentOS 4.4) using SMBFS mounting but it doesn't work. I've checked the Service Configuration and there's no sign of the smb entry in the list. Do I have to install this additionally and if so how, as I thought it would be installed as part of the standard workstation package?

Do you need to mount? Or just want to browse Windows shares? At any rate take a look at this page:

Hi Akemi, Thanks a million for that link - absolutely brilliant! I've been using smbfs in RedHat 9 and had no idea that it had been depreciated (in CentOS 4.4 which is what I've upgraded to). I wondered why I couldn't read files properly, even though the Windows share seemed to mount OK.
Best regards, Andy
