If you read the man page for mount you can see that one of the mount types is smbfs which as far as I remember is a samba mount. I don't know what other options you need to use but I'm sure they're just a short google away.

In some instances If the need to access these shares or save directly to them; however, I'm unable to locate them in a save/open dialog. Where would I find the shares after they've been mounted? I've checked /mnt, to no avail.</blockquote><div> I am writing you a half-answer because a similar question that I posted to this list went unanswered. I believe using the steps you described, you have not done a UNIX mount, but added a Samba share. I was never able to solve opening dialog boxes to windows machines (I was looking for that KDE "network" icon-type-thing). I can access my linux fileserver now using Ubuntu linux by executing a short shell script with explicit mounts done through NFS when I log on. I can only suggest making your fileserver a linux machine. I have one with two disks using the rsync program to back up files nightly and all the computers (linux and windows) in our house point to it as a central fileserver. Life has been good since I did this. cheers, KB </div> </div> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank"> http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Stephen Mc Gowan.
