Huh? If you want to 'mount' a samba share ON the NT box, that's exectly what samba does - it's a LanMan server and you can connect a samba share from UNIX as a local drive on NT. What I want is the opposite - I want to be able to "mount" (as a filesystem) a LanMan share from another machine, NT for example. I'd love to be able to mount -t smd nt_machine:/bigdisk/share /mnt !!! I think it would be great to have an NFS client-like samba program, instead of smbclient (ftp-like). I guess I mean compliment smbclient actually... Overall, the samba suite is superb! Unfortunately, I don't have the skills or the time to write an NFS-like client for samba.. but it would be super handy!! -Mark :%t$sig -- Oops, thought I was in vi.. ------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | C-Soft www.quickweb.com | ------------------------------------------- > > TIA > - troy > > Troy Arie Cobb > troy@circle.net > > ------------------------------------------------------ > | Circle Net, Inc. | global internet access | > | http://www.circle.net | for western north carolina | > | info@circle.net | and beyond... | > | 704-254-9500 | | > ------------------------------------------------------ > >
