Mounting windows folders as folders on linux box.

[Marvin Rush]

Well I can do the mount by hand like so

Mount //marvin/mp3 /home/mp3 that works and I can read the files from the
other machine. What I would like to do is make that process automatic so I
don't have to type it every time the computer re-boots. I have looked at the
samba file and swat but most of this referrs to doing things the other way
letting people see the folders on a linux box in windows.Thanks Marv

That could be a good point.  Actually, if network mounting is in order, it
should be smbmount instead.  If you use mount, you would have to specify a
mount type like smbfs or something.  If mount can be used with samba now,
then that's something new I didn't know.  Yes, I was interpreting the
original question as if it were on the same machine.
