Hi, I have a FreeBSD-Current and I wanted to access the shares in our Windows NT. What I did: Since I only wanted to Access the only Data Server that we have in our ethernet LAN I tried in kterm the following, #smbutil view //windows_username@dataserver The result is, Share Type Comment ------------------------------- NETLOGON disk Logon server share ADMIN$ disk Remote Admin REPL$ disk IPC$ pipe Remote IPC C$ disk Default share G$ disk Default share H$ disk Default share As you can see the folder names which are supposed to be in Japanese comes out as C$, G$, H$... My kterm can of course input/display Japanese characters...without any problems... man smbutil does not give me any option how to display the proper characters... Any help, pointers, advice would really be great... Thank you and hoping for your replies... Bull TORS

The C$ stuff is not Japanese share names. All NT partictions (drive letters) have administrative shares that use that notation. C$ is c:\ etc. Try this mount_smbfs //NTusername@servername/sharename /(some directory on the bsd box you want to mount to), and see what happens. If it errors out you'll have a log file to start backtracking the error.
