I see that smbmount is for Linux only. I have a need for a Solaris 8 Sun to see a Win2k shared volume, currently as read-only. So I have a few questions: - Is there a read-only capability of smbmount for Solaris 8? - Is there a Solaris 8 version of smbmount in development? Is so, when would it be released? - Can you name any commercial packages that offer the ability to mount NTFS file systems (either read-only or full-access)? Thanks, Chris Kovach
> I see that smbmount is for Linux only.smbmount relies on kernel support for the smb filesystem which (to the best of my knowledge) isn't in Solaris. I believe you can use smbclient to copy files in an FTP-like fashion.

You run smbsh, it prompts you for your login and password for the PDC and then gives you a shell prompt. The shell is taken from $SHELL by default. You can then cd to /smb and begin walking around in your SMB network like a regular directory structure. -- Robert E.

If you are running Solaris x86 then you might want to look at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/default.asp It's $99.00 but has an NFS server for MS as well as a host of other interoperability shtuff... Good Luck
