Not sure if this is what you mean. Not quite. I have samba on FreeBSD and would like to see the windows file on anothe machine on the Lan. I do have FreeBsd on another machine (this one) and I can mount the Windows files even on a FastTrack raid array(1) access, copy & write (if I remember right) files. But how to do the same from the *nix on the Lan? >I don't know cygwin (to be run from the win box I reckon; I think this >is more for when you want an X-in-a-window from a *NIX client onto a >Win box), never tried it. Personally, I have never needed it as i have postgres & other stuff on the FreeBSD machine. :)) Thenks, PJ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
