I have reviewed Adam Gautier's recent post on mounting a Windows

a similar thing for our system but am unable to succeed.
I have xyz set up as a WindowsXP Professional machine, and I am able to
access the
Shared Documents folder on xyz from other Windows machines but have not
been able to mount it with FC1. I have xyz listed in my hosts file, and
have ALL: xyz : allow in my hosts.allow file. I have also turned off
iptables to make sure there was no conflict.
My fstab entry is:
xyz:/ /mnt/ceb smbfs noauto,user,user=guest 0 0
When I use the command:
mount xys:/
I receive :
This command is designed to be run from within /bin/mount by giving
the option '-t smbfs'. For example:
mount -t smbfs -o username=tridge,password=foobar //fjall/test
/data/test
xys:/ is not a Windows share name (or format). You need something like
//xys/share (//xys/c$ for example).
