DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Root Password and Samba

DSL is GREAT, but it won't do the one thing I downloaded it for.

I need the ability to mount smb shares.

Also, us users of DSL need the root password so we can do some of the things we would like to do.

Thanks

Doug

I haven't had any problem reading smb shares on my wife's Win98 box from DSL. Try this (replacing the obvious);

mount -t smbfs -o username=tridge,password=foobar //fjall/test /data/test

Check the FAQ's: http://damnsmalllinux.org/faq.html#root There is no root password by default.
