Question


Is it possible to set up the following network and get the following results:

(1) computer running Windows 2000.
(1) computer running Windows 98/ME.
(1) computer running Linux (Slackware 7, Redhat 6.2, or Debian 2.2).

Samba will be configured and running on the linux machine; login is possible from both 2000 and 98/ME.

Linux has mounted the hard drives of both Windows computers, say, into " /hd/2000 " and " /hd/me ". But when the Windows clients log in, mount " /hd " onto the computer, so that they can access the 2000's and ME's hard drive THROUGH the linux computer? (There is no way that 2000 can access a 9x computer, and there is no way that a 9x access a 2000 computer, except for the logon of 9x clients to 2000 servers.)

Thanks.
Brian

A remote MS Windows filesystem can be mounted onto a Linux filesystem. The syntax:
Code:
smbmount //machine/windowsME /mnt/windowsME
This mounts the MS Windows resource called windowsME from the MS Windows machine called machine. The mountpoint on the client computer is /mnt/windowsME/. For the above to work, the permission must be given on the MS Windows machine for sharing the directory or drive as a resource.
