I'm trying to put together an embedded box that will act as a samba client. All it needs to do is to mount Windows shares read-only. It needs to support WinXP and Vista. I need to be able to log in to the box via ssh, and then use smbclient or something similar to "sniff" the shared drives, and then mount them RO for purposes of remote backup. I am looking at an embedded solution that comes with samba-2.0.10, which is absolutely ancient, but I am hopeful that given the limited access I need it will work. Could someone knowledgeable in ancient samba lore give me an opinion?

That version won't support NTLMv2, SPNEGO/Kerberos, or SMB signing. Also doesn't follow MS-DFS linke and may have more problems with Vista hosts. cheers, jerry - -- ====================================================================Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHDiG5IR7qMdg1EfYRAt74AJwPR9MJ7PszpMIolvRk4QUjQj69HgCgp1vz 4/kDcXh+I15Y3a4KKqP+b1w=C3p8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
