In the meantime, I've been using SharityLight (see /usr/ports/net/sharity-light) which has pretty much the same syntax as smbmount - so much so, that they include the smbmount man page in the package :') Be aware, that sharity-light seems to have some minor problems when you leave the mount-point around (but inactive) for a while, so I tend to mount the nt shares use them, then unmount them in a fairly short time frame. I think this may be more a 'feature' of our internal network, rather than a sharity-light specific problem ;') as I've noticed similar things from nt boxen. hth, haxxa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
