I see references to people using the /smb file system to get at
files over on NT servers, but I am not succeeding.
My basic interest would be to get at my mail files without having
to dual-boot over to windows, or to have to use VMWare to run a
windows sub-session.
It would SEEM that if I could see the mail spools from my unix machine
under /smb, then I could use Netscape to read the mail...
My understanding of the documentation is that I should run SMBSH
and then run my UNIX process there, where I should be able to access
the NT files under /smb.
When I attempt this I get
[reg@orion bin]$ ./smbsh
Username: rwclemens
Password:
ERROR: can't get smbw shared lock (Invalid argument)
[reg@orion bin]$
Looking at the code where this message is generated doesnt help much.
Any ideas on what Im doing wrong, since I cant seem to even get into
the game????
[ for reference, this is samba-2.2.0-alpha3, tho Ive had the same
problem with the other other versions Ive tried.]
