samba - Dec 1998 - Smbmount and Irix.

I am new to the list so I apologize if this question is old territory.

I am looking for a resource that will explain how to use smbmount with
IRIX.
As I understand it smbmount is only supported with Linux.  Can I mount
an
NT share onto the IRIX filetree with samba?  Or do I need a NFS / SMB
conversion program that converts SMB to NFS and mount the NT shares
as NFS volumes on the IRIX side.

The same question applies to Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 systems.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

Yes (or, corretly, smbmount could quite easily support any platform with
smbfs support in the kernel)

No.. samba is for the opposite - export irix-filetree to nt.

Yes - there is one called sharity, formerly knows as rumba
