I have outlined the procedure for you:
1. create a directory on the Linux Server to hold the share. ie: if the
directory you want to mount is mongoose then create a directory on the
Linux box to hold that directory( I prefer to use names that either
duplicate or resemble the NT directory names: for ease of reference later)
Your NT files must be in a folder that is shared! with a share name.
2. Mount with the command: mount -t smbfs -o username=<your NT user name>,
paswd=<your NT password> //<your server name>/<share name>/<directory name
you created>
3. If you have problems make sure that smbfs is either compiled in to the
kernel or has been added as a module. /sbin/lsmod will list all running
modules.
4. Shares can be mounted with specific permissions using he appropriate
optional commands in the man pages on smbmount.
