We're trying to connect a UNIX server to an NT server, so that it mounts a directory from the NT server on startup. Is it possible to do this so that smbclient does not have to be run from the command line? Any information would be greatly appreciated. -- Claire Johnson Unix god in training Studio Archetype cjohnson@studioarchetype.com

On Linux, it is possible because of the smbfs support built into the kernel. This makes smbmount work. In commercial Unices, where you generally do NOT have the sources for the kernel, it is not possible until you vendor adds smbfs support. FYI, smbfs is the smb filesystem. ___________________________________________________ Roeland M.J.
