Hi Carl,
that somewhat clarifies the process.
smbmount -> windows(CIFS/SAMBA server?) using win32 drivers->NTFS (R/W)
smbmount -> linux SAMBA server(CIFS/SAMBA server?) using linux modules ->NTFS (read only)
smbmount -> linux SAMBA server(CIFS/SAMBA server?) using 'captive' modules ->NTFS (R/W)
could you edit this to make it clearer!
Cheers!
-Kev
