Mounting Windows based shares on Linux is a relatively simple process.
If the share is on a Windows XP, Server 2000 or NT machine you can use the following command:
mount -t smbfs -o username=username //server/share /mountpoint
However for Server 2003 the above command will not work so you simply change smbfs for cifs as shown below.
mount -t cifs -o username=username //server/share /mountpoint
The username should be that of your Windows user and in both examples you will be prompted for your windows password.
The command above will work for all versions of Windows. If you are having difficulty mounting or receive an error with invalid file type ensure that the samba-client packages for your distribution are installed
After a week windows mobile 7 also joins the party along with Google Android and Apple iPhone, both companies are sued against stealing user sensitive data (like GPS cordinates which is user's pin point location) from user's mobile devices and transmitting over internet then stored at Google and Apple databases.
CNET reported the location tracking on Monday, almost a week after reports of similar tracking in Apple's iPhone and Google's Android mobile OS raised concerns that smartphones could be used by police, civil litigants, or abusive spouses to track an owner's movements over extended periods of time.
