Alas...I spoke too soon...Hotel California is no longer stuck in my head and the "solution" for <BR>
the Ubuntu box no longer works. (Funny...it was working last night!) <BR>
<BR>
[Rich scratches head...]<BR>
<BR>
Searches of the Ubuntu forum found how to do it with smbfs and how to edit fstab but with <BR>
passwords in plain text. (I read the whole thing shaking my head wondering "why?") That <BR>
was a long shot but will return to working on a cifs solution to persistently mount the remote<BR>
NTFS share on 9.10.<BR>
<BR>
For anyone who's interested, here's what I'm trying to do...all new to me...<BR>
<BR>
Mount \\Studio\Production to ~/Studio so that my wife (the user) can easily access data on <BR>
her production system and allow gFTP to easily see the Production share on a remote XP box<BR>
as a local resource on Ubuntu. (XP only lives in this posting because of the h/w used...it requires<BR>
M$ drivers for a broadcast audio card -- no Linux equivalent available due to the DSP.) It would<BR>
be good for her to be able to write data back to the NTFS share. (Keep in mind that I'm keeping <BR>
the Window$ box offline thus don't want to do FTP from there...)<BR>
<BR>
Here's the command I've used to attach the share:<BR>
<BR>
mount -t cifs //ip-addr-of-pc/Production /home/username/Studio -o username=workgroup/username,password=password<BR>
<BR>
This mounts the drive alright but it isn't persistent. Last night I thought I had it but this morning it's a <BR>
different story.<BR>
<BR>
So far I've found that Ubuntu doesn't understand how to resolve the Window$ box by NetBIOS name <BR>
but Samba is running fine and resolves the workgroup and host machines on the workgroup as well <BR>
as their shares. Ubuntu does resolve by IP just fine. (I suspect this is due to mappings that would be<BR>
analogous to a host file in M$ or a service that needs to be installed/configured but am too new in this <BR>
regard to *NIX to be sure...) <BR>
<BR>
More fun & games! <BR>
