Getting very close now, thank you very much.

So I now have:

//192.168.0.244/C   /hpxp/c  cifs
defaults,user,guest,uid=n7dr,username=N7DR 0 0

which works perfectly when I am root (yay!), but as an ordinary user I get:

[H:~] mount /hpxp/c
mount error: permission denied or not superuser and mount.cifs not
installed SUID

but when I look at mount.sbin, I see:

[H:~] ls -al /sbin/mount.cifs
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 25240 2007-11-16 14:31 /sbin/mount.cifs

As I understand it, the "s" in the attribute string means that the file
*is* installed SUID root.

So I am not at all sure why I can't mount the filesystem from an ordinary
account.
