Is it just me, or did lookOut (tm) destructively modify the message I sent: \_ > using 2.0.6, I issue: [...] \_ > \_ > smbmount file://ntserver/bob /mnt/bob -o \_ username=ntlogon,workgroup=ntdomain,rw I didn't type the 'file:' part of 'file://ntserver'. Gotta love that. I suppose if I type: //myserver_ip/share/dir/file.exe will probably claim to make it executable to boot! If that's a 'guest'ed share, then auth wouldn't be required and poof.... Oh, wait, .exe is for old school virus programs. Try //myserver_ip/share/dir/file.vbs nevermind... David
