Do likewise for your FreeBSD 4.3 machine and you'll be fine :) You will probably find the installation of Samba a lot easier in FreeBSD, since all it takes is: # cd /usr/ports/net/samba # make install The smbclient program installed by Samba will allow you to browse Windows shares. You might also want to take a look at the ports: net/smbfs net/sharity-light These allow mounting of SMB shares. I had used sharity-light about a year ago, and it worked like a charm, but I don't know if the newer smbfs port works better for you. I say try them both and see which one you like the best :) BTW, you should really upgrade your 4.3 installation to a newer -STABLE version. There have been quite a few security fixes since the release of 4.3-RELEASE that made it to the base system and the ports. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the messagehelp
