  -I just remembered that there's another thing that might befall you 
  when you try this.You often need to specify the uid and gid for the 
  mount point at mount time. ??Here is the command I use to mount a Samba 
  share called "central" on a mount point of the same name after I boot my 
  desktop Linux box:mount -t smbfs -o rw,uid=506,gid=506 
  //192.168.0.12/central central"central" then appears in my tree as the 
  top of the tree on the file server that I shared out. ??My Windows 
  machines map the drive letter "I" to that same point, such that the 
  path$HOME/central/multimediaon my main Linux desktop machine 
  andI:/multimediaon the Windows machines point to the exact 
  same space. ??- JeffJeff Hubbs wrote:
