I am moving FROM:
RH EL AS 3.0, Kernel is 2.1.21-4, Samba is 3.0.0-14.3E
(This is what came with the RH distribution)
TO:
Fedora Core 5 Kernel is 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 Samba is 3.0.22-1.fc5
(Both kernel and samba have been upgraded from the distribution.)
I can't find the smbmount (or smbumount) command.
I am running VMWare and want to be able to move files between the host
WIndows XP system and the guest Linux system. Under RH I could issue an
smbmount command and mount the XP systems file system and then use all the
file tools.
I know I can use smbclient but mounting the host file system is much
easier.
man indicates "No manual entry for smbmount"
The man entry for mount talks about using -t smbfs and refers to
/sbin/mount.smbfs but this doesn't exist either.
My RH system has a link from /sbin/mount.smbfs to /usr/bin/smbmount
ls -l /usr/sbin/smb* yields:

I'm pretty sure we mentioned it in the release notes. You can use "mount -t cifs ..." to mount remote SMB filesystems using the Liunx CIFS filesystem. Further information about the Linux CIFS filesystem can be found at http://linux-cifs.samba.org/ Bug reports about the Linux CIFS filesystem in Fedora 5 should go to bugzilla.redhat.com under the "kernel" component. -- JF
