I'd like to use the smbfs and smbmount stuff that the Linux using Samba afficiandoes have worked out on FreeBSD (2.2.1) -- is anybody working on this? There's also Linux support for SGI's efs that I'd be very happy to use under FreeBSD were it available -- anybody working on _that_? If I had the skills to port stuff like that I'd work on it but it's outta my scope... thanks On 15 Apr 1997, Jason Scheck wrote: > Linux has a file system driver that I would very much like to use on my > home FreeBSD server (a Macintosh HFS driver).
