Hallo,
I'm new to all this network booting stuff but luckily was able to figure out how to boot Knoppix from a SMB Share on Windows 2003 server.

The only problem is that the SMB share holding the Knoppix image is accessible for everybody. I have to find a way to enable user or client authentication. Any idea how to do this?

I guess I have to modify the kernel parameter specified by APPEND:

APPEND secure nfsdir=//123.123.123.123/knoppix_share nodhcp lang=en ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init apm=poweroff nomce vga=791 initrd=miniroot.gz quiet BOOT_IMAGE=KNOPPIX

Is it possible to specify a user name and a password there?
