[rhn-users] Mounting Linux from Windows

[Clinton Fernandes]

In linux:

mount -t smbfs -o username=<username> <also any other options here> //<windows
machine name>/<path to mount> /mnt/<mount point>

the -o is for options. Usually for windows you'll need to supply a windows
username to gain access to the shared folder. (It'll ask for a password too).

`man mount` should provide other available options.
