Sharing files between Linux and Windows

[Willem van der Walt]

The following mount command mounts a cifs file system, I.E. your Windows 
share, under the mount point called note.
The share is called bid and the user is also called bid.
One is prompted for a password when the mount is envoced, but there are 
ways to automate this.
mount -tcifs //146.64.28.229/bid  note -o username=bid
I would really not use NFS as suggested by someone on the list, as it is 
not verry secure and SAMBA works well.
HTH, Willem
