ok, count me in as one of the sharity-light users. it works well for me here. i was just told that when using smbfs, it's been found on another machine here that when the remote share is made unavailable (remote windows machine rebooted... imagine that), then smbfs barfs and won't reconnect to the share. since i have no experience with smbfs, i can't form an opinion about smbfs. i can say that sharity-light works well for me! have any of you seen this reconnect problem with smbfs? -Otter }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Chris Wasser }Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2000 1:50 PM }To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }Subject: Re: smbfs > Sharity-Light > * } } }On Tue, Oct 24, 2000 at 09:07:15AM -0600, Jamie Hermans wrote: }> > Werner Gillmer wrote: }> > > }> > > What is the BSD-equivilent for the Linux smbmount? }> > }> > sharity-light.
