[K12OSN] samba drives/home folder and MS Vista probs

[Sergio Chaves]

What version of samba are you using?

According to another linux magazine article, Samba 3.0.22 and later work just 
fine.
The author could not mount the shares from GUI but successfully mounted them 
using:

mount -t smbfs -o username= <windows username here> 
password=<user_password> //IP Address/share /mountpoint

Good luck
