Hello again, I use Samba 1.9.16p11 to interconnect a mixed network of IRIX 6.x, Win95 and WinNT boxes. After going through the DIAGNOSIS.txt file and finishing the tests with success, it seems that Samba is installed correctly ;) The PCs can see the Samba server without problems. A user can use the shared resources, make copies, delete files/directories, etc. I can 'mount' UNIX resources to the PC as described in STEP 9 of INSTALL.txt: net use d: \\servername\service I even also found the way to solve my problems with smbtar and works fine by now. What I would like to try is the other way around and therefore I would like to know if there's a way to connect with the PC from the UNIX box and treat it as it were a directory. Any help/examples on it are welcomed! personal email also appreciated. Greetings, M@rtin -- Martin Mielke martin@jaleo.idecnet.com Jaleo Crew - SysAdm voice: ++34 (9)28 262299

(Samba, Rumba, oh well.) You can find it in: ftp://hal.kph.tuwien.ac.at/pub/NeXT/tools/rumba/ ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/utils/networks/ It was written for NeXTSTEP, but it works fine under FreeBSD too. It is a translation layer between user level NFS and SMB, so should be quite portable. According to the readme, there are a few problems with different fs semantics for SMB and NFS. Haven't tried it yet, so can't comment on how stable it is. Best regards, Ben
