I've maanged to get this working at home and it's doing a great job. I brought one of my FreeBSD boxes into work tongight and plugged it into the LAN with the intention of showing smbfs to one of my co-workers. I tried attaching to a workstation on the network and got the following error: "mount_smbfs: server name 'auadwesm1511625' too long" This NT workstation works fine on our network so I know that it isn't a problem. As I mentioned earlier I've used smbfs successfully at home but that with with machines that had netbios names less than 15 characters in length. I know that netbios names can be 16 characters in length but that the 16th character is a reserved 'special' character used to denote a particular function. 15 character netbios names for machines are perfectly legal - does smbfs have a bug?
