Re: [Q] Can Samba mount 'shared' (not 'served') Win drives ?

["C. Falconer" <criggie@ihug.co.nz>]

Here's a thought - are you attempting to mount
        \\desktop\c$
as the name of the share?  If so, your shell will probably be getting 
confused by the dollars sign.  (For those who don't know, NT W and NT S 
create shares of c$ and d$ and so on for the root of each drive.  The $ 
stops the share being browseable (to use samba terminology) )

Try creating a new share on the same drive, and call it something else.  I 
think the $ was a bad choice of character on MS part.
