I believe what you are asking is whether you can mount a remote NT share on
a Linux machine.
smbfs must be loaded as a module or compiled in the kernel; if so...
as root:
# mount -t smbfs -o username=your_nt_username //nt_server_name/share_name
/mnt
Enter your NT password at the prompt. You can also use smbmount. Check out
the manpage for syntax.

Subject: [SLUG] How can I mount an NTFS share?
I have a mixture of NT and Linux machines. I store most of the important
data for all of my machines using Samba on one of the Linux machines because
it has the tape drive and cd-r for backups. Unfortunately, I have filled up
that server's drive space.
Now I need to restore a rather large file from tape and I don't have space
on
the linux server. However, I do have a bunch of space on the NT boxes.
QUESTION: Is is possible to mount an NTFS file share from and NT machine on
a
Linux server so that I can do the restore? I know I can use the Samba
client
to access the space, but that wouldn't work with the restore. Any
suggestions (other than the obvious - get a bigger drive) would be
appreciated! Thanks!
Glenn.
