fstype in SunOS 5.8

Dear Sirs,

I am a user of SUN Solaris 8 (intel) platform, and I had installed the
newest samba 2.2.2
version, but I can't find the "smbfs" fstype in Solaris which I
was used
in Linux,

Could you please tell me how to solve the problem "smbfs" in Solaris?
Thank you in
advance.

Best Regards,
Roger Huang
Sincerely Samba User

Hello,

Unfortunately, the "smbfs" is a Linux-only solution, as it is a
component of
the kernel, and, as you have found out, it is not available with Solaris.
You have two alternatives available to you; you can use the smbclient
software, which allows you to mount a Windows or Samba server share on your
Solaris machine. Also, you could use the smbsh software, IIRC. Also, please
avoid posting to the mailing list in HTML format, if it is possible.
Unfortunately, sending mail in HTML format has a negative impact upon
archiving and the digest of Samba. Hope this helps.

My apologies for some misinformation; smbclient only offers a FTP-like
interface to another server. It doesn't, as I had said, allow you to
actually mount a Windows share on a UNIX system. The following URL offers an
extensive description of the SMB client:

http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbclient.1.html

Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to use the method you mentioned to
"mount"
a Windows share on Solaris; in fact, such a procedure or program simply
doesn't exist. You are forced to use either smbclient, or smbsh on Solaris
to access Windows-based servers. Sorry I can't be more help.
