How to access LAN machine from root?

Hi,
That all depends on what those other machines are running. If you mean to browse smb/cifs shares on windows machines then the nearest you will get in linux is LISa - the LAN Information Service --> .
You would have to have samba (incl samba-client stuff) installed on the linux machine and have the KDE desktop ( , including the kde-network rpm for your distribution which includes lisa . To check if thats installed do :
rpm -q kde-network
To check on kde generally do :
rpm -qa | grep ^kde
If theres nothing there you'll have to install kde. If you have kde but not the kde-network you'll just need to install that rpm.
Regards
