Made a directory /mnt/smb and tried:
mount -t smbfs -o username=bruce,password=(MY PW) \\sam\home /mnt/smb
Got back a help page that said use forward slashes.  Tried:
mount -t smbfs -o username=bruce,password=(MY PW) //sam/home /mnt/smb
Got back "ERRSRV - (Invalid network name in tree connect.)
Tried: mount -t smbfs -o guest //sam/home/bruce /mnt/smb
Got back "Bad password. "

The SMB-HOWTO talked about smbclient and I tried that and got as far as "Bad 
Password."

rlogin works - but is also worthless for transferring a file as far as I can 
determine.

The SMB-HOWTO also talked about smbmount, but no matter how I tried to use it 
the best I could get was "Bad Password"

Since the windows machines use encrypted passwords, the server is set up for 
them.  I begin to think that is the problem, but don't know how to get
around it.

Thanks again for the help,
bruce
