Mounting NT network drives

[Kurtis Martineau <klmartineau-at-shaw.ca>]

Is SAMBA the way to go in order to save and recall files to an existing
plant NT network?

I thought I had this figured out when I added script to my *.run file to
smbmount the NT server.  It always seemed to work in the evening when I had
access to the emc controlled machine.  I rebooted many times, saved files
and recalled files.  But later when the operator opened the mount point
folder, all he saw was white...no longer mounted.

Samba is great, but it was pretty complicated and I'm not sure what I'm
doing...only trying to follow examples.  Could my grief be on the NT server
side?

Is there not way to click an icon on the desktop and view the network folder
the same way we do with the cdrom, or floppy?  All we want to do here have
access to part programs on the network.

Or maybe I should see if I can ftp the network folder.  In any case,
operator friendliness is critical.  The
