It doesn't matter if you are trying to mount FAT or NTFS...if it is being
shared, you are mounting via SMB. NTFS will only make a difference
permissions-wise, in a similar way ext2 works with permissions.

I've used:  smbmount //server/sharename /local/mount/point

You can also mount hidden shares, eg:
smbmount //server/hiddenshare$ /local/mount/point

Don,

# mkdir /mnt/winbox
# smbmount \\\\winbox\\sharename /mnt/winbox

...is working on my RH6.2 box.  I've made no changes to the default samba
install.  I used to have a RH6.0 box and recall the smbmount syntax being a
bit more complex.  Something like:

smbmount \\\\winbox\\sharename -c "mount /mnt/winbox"

...or something like that.  Wait, I am mounting a FAT partition.  What type
of filesystem are you mounting?  I'll have to try mounting an NTFS
partition.

...Kevin
