Re: Mounting a Windows share on Sarge lite

[Daniel Brinks <dlbrinks@xxxxxxx>]

If you are mounting a windows share on any NT or XP boxes, you will have to 
give a valid username/password. Try something like this:

mount -t smbfs -o username=blueboy,password=foobar //server/share /mnt/share

That might be your problem.
