[plug] Read write access to Win2K disks

[Quintin Lette]

As root a command like this should suffice
mount -t smbfs -o 
"username=user_name_with_rw,password=(willrequest_if_not_specified) 
//host/share /mount/point

obviously the share must allow read write access and the user must be allowed 
read write access (I frequently do this, also using SuSE 8.1)

Regards

Quintin

I am ofcourse assuming you are trying to get this over the network ie SMB
NTFS write support is experimental in 2.4 (read expect massive filesystem 
corruption)
