THE PROBLEM have a FreeBSD box that needs to map Windoze shares root@flea(/usr/ports/net/smbfs)ttyp3 # uname -a FreeBSD flea.bytecraft.au.com 4.7-RC FreeBSD 4.7-RC #0: Tue Sep 24 19:41:00 EST 2002 root@flea.bytecraft.au.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 on other (older) host I added /usr/ports/net/smbfs when attempting this on current host get this message OS versions subsequent to 500027 include smbfs from the make. OK I can cope with that, so I try root@flea(~)ttyp3 # mount_smbfs -I melcms01.xxx.yyy.zzz //ADMINISTRATOR@MELCMS01/sms /mnt Password: ******** and get this.... mount_smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device) OK so I look into the /dev/MAKEDEV scripts and there is no nsmb anywhere. So I looked into the old hosts port working dir and found this in the Makefile cd /dev && && rm -f nsmb* && mknod nsmb0 c 144 0 There are currently no nsmb devices in /dev on the new host THE QUESTION Is this command line still appropriate or has any of the mknod parameters changed?
