Success!! And a SAMBA/winbind question...

[Kory Mohr]

Howdy, Tom.  Thx much for the excellent writeup.  Greatly appreciated!

I found a link that comes close to what I'm trying to do:

http://geekpit.blogspot.com/2006/05/accessing-windows-shares-from-gnulin
ux.html

I definitely don't want anyone to have access to others' folders, of
course.  I'm wondering if it's an idea (tedious, however, and possibly
problematic as passwords expire and change) to try this above.

I was able to get it working, although, I can see the root directory of
the share and not go any deeper (i.e. into an actual user directory).
I'll keep playing with it.

Thx again for the push!  

Regards,
Kory
