Hi,

We have a mostly windows based network with a windows server. There is a
single linux machine on the network which I am trying to configure
correctly.
I have setup a smb mount from the /etc/fstab file, which logs onto the
windows server with an account I created specifically for it. This is OK for
backing up the linux machine, but what I would really like to do for
specific users is to mount windows directories with the username and login
password of the user that is logging into linux. Is this even possible?? Is
Winbind a solution to this problem, or is there another way of doing this?

I use the debian distribution.

Thanks in advance,
Brian.

try this:
mount -t smbfs //<ip_windows>/<windows_share> /<mount_point> -o
username=<windows_user>,password=<windows_passwd>, uid=<unix_user>,gid=<unix_group>
