===Mount Remote Samba Shares on Local Filesystem===
Where the share to be mounted is "//beaker/My Documents", and assuming beaker is a [[Win98]] machine using share-mode security with no password:
* Short version --
mount -t cifs //BEAKER/MY\ DOCUMENTS /mnt/machines/beaker/My\ Documents -o sec=lanman,servername=BEAKER
* Long version, which will let you know if mount.cifs is not installed:
mount.cifs //beaker/MY\ DOCUMENTS /mnt/machines/beaker/My\ Documents --verbose -o sec=lanman,servername=BEAKER,guest
