Dear All,

I have a shared folder at windows machine say test
and now i want to access this shared folder at linux machine

What i did is

step1:
Start samba service and the service was started successfully.

step2:
logged as root user and then

mkdir -p /mnt/win


when i try to mount the windows shared folder by using the following command
mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=pak //172.16.172.124/test /mnt/win

an error encountered
mount: fs type -smbfs not supported by Kernel
i am using Redhat Enterprise Linux AS 4.5

This is not an Oracle question.
Post in a Linux forum.
