Hi everyone.
I have a small problem that I need to solve,

I'm using a slackware client connected to a NT4 server, the slackbox are
going to make a backup of the NT server, mounting the shares are no
problem, but since there is a lot of different shares it's to much trouble.

Isn't there a way to mount the whole disk (or disks), not only the separate
shares?
If I recall correct there is a windos share called C$, is it possible to use
this somehow? If so, how the h--l is it done??


Thanks !

Try:

mount -t smbfs //WINNTBOX/C$ /mnt/win -o
username=Administrator,password=sssssh

(all one line BTW)

If you don't have the Administrator password I'm not sure how you can
grant the priv to another user but I assume it's possible, it's not as
if Windows is a secure system after all ;-)

Member's of the windows machine's administrators group have access to the
"Administrative" shares...c$, d$, etc. This includes local accounts that
may have admin access, and domain accounts, if the machine is in a Windows
domain environment.
So you can either use the local Administartor account, or use the Windows
admin tools and add a different account to the Administrators group, and
use that account. Same effect, either way.

You should also be able to create a new share for the entire drive, and
set permisissions appropriately. But, if you can do that, you already
have admin on the Windows machine, so this wouldn't be necessary.

Thank you both!
This helped. I thought it would be harder than this : ). So I guess I was
looking for a harder way to do it.
Haven't done any windos work for a few years now so I'm a bit rusty. Hope it
stays that way!

Thanks again!
