Hello everybody, Day by day, samba becomes more integrated to our network. Now we have an smbmount problem. We are using samba on a Solaris 2.5 system (besides other Linux'es), and we want to mount some Win95 partitions on that machine. Unlike Linux, there is no smbfs support on Solaris. What should we do to use smbmount on Solaris? We were using release 1.9.16p11 on that machine and upgraded it to 1.9.18. - dce. - http://www.linux.org.tr -- Ekodinamik bir Aaalet.

The Part number is UNSOL-2.6-SRC, and the stand alone price is $100. Now all you need is an academic customer who likes writing to the Sun filesystems switch... it's similar to the Berkeley or Linux one, but non-identical (:-)). --dave (at sun) c-b -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
