samba - Oct 2000 - smbmount for IRIX

Hi guys,
I've been trying to get from source or the tardist a working binary for
smbmount for IRIX 6.5. Any leads here? The tardist package doesn't contain
it from what I can see, and the problems of getting gcc/libtools etc etc etc
down a modem to compile the thing make compilation only a last stretch resort.

Any assistances, pointers, or attached working binaries to my address would be
appreciated :)

Thanks,
David Jorm

	AFAIK (and things could change - I'm not the IRIX wizard) there
is no smbfs (SMB File System) support in IRIX.  Smbmount is the mount
package which controls the smbfs file system in Linux.  No smbfs means
that smbmount is pretty much useless to you.  Now...  Someone COULD
have writen an smbfs driver for IRIX, but I think I would have heard
about it and I haven't, so you are probably out of luck there.

	A better option would be to look at smbsh and see if that will
do what you want to do without requiring and smbfs file system in the
IRIX kernel.
