I installed a samba server ( 2.2.8 ) on an HP-UX 11.0 machine. I setup a share and it can be mapped from a Win2k client. I am now tring to mount the same share from a seperate HP-UX 11.0 client. I know the mount command knows nothing of smbfs types currently on my HP-UX machine. The binary .depot I used also did not install any smbmount commands. Does anyone know how to make smbfs part of the HP-UX kernel or mount command? or how to get smbount on HP-UX 11.0 Thanks, Ron
Ron, Suggest you search for a product called Sharity. I do not know if it supports HPUX - YMMV. Cheers, John T.

Ron, If you look here http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B8724AA you will see that HP has a free, downloadable product to do what you want. It is in fact based on Sharity, which is the product John mentioned. Good Luck, Marc Jacobsen John H Terpstra wrote:>Ron, > >Suggest you search for a product called Sharity.

Ron, If you have an HP-UX 11.0 system, it may already have the HP CIFS/9000 Client installed; if not you can get it free at software.hp.com. It is not the smbfs from the Samba group, it is a full product that actually provides greater functionality than smbfs. In fact, it is an enhanced version of the third-party product "Sharity". The HP CIFS Client is integrated with the HP-UX mount(1M) command, supports CIFS Unix Extensions, and the version we will release in a few weeks supports Kerberos. The HP CIFS Client is not implemented in the kernel, but its performance is very good, comparable to NFS in most cases. The most recent user manual and release note can be found at docs.hp.com. Good luck. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Raeburn CIFS Client Project HP Systems Networking Lab
Thanks for the help.
The HP-UX implementation allows the mount command to work with the
following syntax.
mount -F cifs server:/share /mount.piont
The "older" cifsclient software was on my machines but...... I would
download the depot that John suggested.
It will have the /etc/rc.config.d file created. ( You will have to modify
it to automatically start the cifsclient daemon to start.)
It will also have the startup script available. These did not exist in the
older versions.
Thanks, again for the help
