    Question Still on Samba on Suse 10.3

    In the command below

    //SUSE/wvh /mnt/smb/wvh smbfs
    username=wvh,password=foo,uid=578,gid=500 0 0

    what does the SUSE stand for. is it the name of the system? the username and password is it for the windows system.

    System name

    i386,i486 and i586 These are the different Intel-CPU families. Software optimized for i586 may not run on i486 or i386. Software optimized for i386 will run on all but will not take advantage of more modern commands.

    SUSE is purely coincidentally the netbios name (networking name) for the file server being mounted. It could be any name. You must enter a user into the samba user database on the server. wvh and foo are just examples of a username and password.
