samba - Aug 2002 - How to mount WindowsNT disks onto Solaris workstation

I am writing this email from Wildlife Institute of India, an autonomous
institution of Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India.
Our institute is involved in the research, management and training for
the conservation of wildlife in India.

We have a GIS and Remote Sensing laboratory having four Sun workstations
on Solaris 7 and two Pentium 4 workstations on Windows NT 4.0 are
installed.  We have been using Samba software to share the hard disk
drives of Sun workstations onto Windows NT workstations.  I was
wondering if it is possible using Samba to do this the other way round
i.e. share hard disk drives of Windows NT workstations onto Sun
workstations.  If yes, then how to do it?

I would greatly appreciate if I get a response to my above query.

Regards.

Rajesh Thapa

For that you need the smbmount command which is, AFAIK, only available 
on Linux. What you can do from Solaris is to use one of these three 
solutions:

- Use the ftp-like tool "smbclient //NTserver/share -U user".

- Use the perl tool smb2www. It works with apache and give you a not very 
nice but functionnal web interface.

- Use the xsmbrowser. Note that you'll also need TCL, TK, EXPECT, all 
available from <http://www.sunfreeware.com>. It's a nice windows
explorer-
like tool.
