so, how does one have the module cifs.ko inserted, as root, and then the mount points mounted as user, in a user friendly manner (i.e. not having to go through sudo gainroot, insmod ..., exit, mount this here, mount that there...
i figure a init script could be written to insmod, with "if not done already" logic, and a shell script that is able to be run from within the GUI. init scripts are run as root by default, i think, so they could be handled without needing sudo. i am not sure if shell scripts can be run from the GUI though.
another idea is to have the sudo issued in a shell script, and the insmod run under the root users context, then exit to the user shell/context and issue the mount commands.
this is a little above my level of expertise, so can any guru's confirm this is doable and/or provide insight to its accomplishment?

My N800 is connecting to my home Linksys router and I can surf the Net with no problems. There are shared files on the home XP PCs that I want to access on my N800. How do I do that?
I've tried File Manager on the N800 but I don't see any listing of the shared files/media on the other PCs in my home network. Do I need to install another Linux software like Samba? Is there such a software for the N800?
Thanks.

This seems to be a much more "elegant" and direct method than using CIFS.

[QUOTE=Joyrider;43214]
Dosent seem that "elegant" to me...
Mhhh No Thank You!
So let me see if I get this right.. You prefer installing a server application in windows, going thru the trouble of setting the permissions and users, risking getting owned.... and it keeps getting longer... Instead of following 3 steps?
1 - Upload cifs
2 - Load cifs.ko "insmod ./cifs.ko" from xterm
3- mount -t cifs //10.10.10.10/dont/be/lazy -o you know the rest :P
(Assuming you have xterm and gainroot.. gainroot can be install from the application manager)

Hi,
How long does it take to mount a network share of a Windows XP dir? I tried the CIFS method and it does take a short while. Is this normal?

Did you manage to get this done? I'm new to scripts and stuff, so was having some problem understanding all that. If you have found a more elegant way of doing the insmod and mounting, please let me know how. Thanks!

Look in the system section for Osso Xterm.
