These work.  Files are viewable on a Win 2000 Server

/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=not_shown
//server1/F$ /var/log/iis
/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=not_shown
//server1/E$ /mnt/web
/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=not_shown
//server2/marketing /mnt/marketing

These mount without error, but give "Permission Denied" for all attemps
to list a directory:

/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=not_shown
//toney/A_Source /var/www/htdocs/toney
/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=not_shown
//joe/Source /var/www/htdocs/joe
/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=not_shown
//pete/Source /var/www/htdocs/pete

The three developers, toney, joe, and pete have php development
directories on their local XP machines.  The development directories
are mounted on the Linux/Apache server so the php code can be tested on
Linux/Apache.

If the Win 2000 Server shares are mounted on "/var/www/htdocs/toney",
there is no problem.  The files can be listed and viewed.

If the XP shares are mounted on "/mnt/web" listing files generates
"Permission Denied".

samba mounts are not listed in fstab on either the Debian or Slackware
machines.

Thanks,
