So now that I'm looking at Linux as an alternative people tell me to use Samba. It seems to be that Samba is so Windows can see *nix servers. I need for my Linux desktops to access Windows servers. What are my options? Thanks, Jerry V. Way IS/IT Mgr. Kenra, LLC Indianapolis, IN
Samba! You can use smbfs (smbmount) and smbclient (similar to ftp) It's great!

I reply to save those more qualified time, which can more usefully be spent developing SAMBA further.

It is a user based mount of a share of an NT-server. smbmount is partly a part of samba (./configure --with-smbmount) and partly a part of the linux kernel (smbfs). The last one is the reason that on other unixes you can only use smbclient or smbsh (which should work on linux as well). Christian> Thanks, > > Jerry V.

If you run ./configure --help, you will see an option for linux called smbmount. You want to configure and then make with that option. This command will let you mount Window shares.
