    mount windows partition

    Hi there,

    i want to mount windows patition using samba.

    I believe this is the command:
    mount -t smbfs //hostname/c$ /mnt/windows2003

    what is the options to enter the username and password in that commnad?

    when I execute the above command, it asks for the password, assuming "root" as windows user? I want to put the username and password in the command/

    Any idea experts?

    Thanks
    Kumar
