mount NTBOX

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi Karl,
Yep, the s/w involved to mount a windows share to a *nix mountpoint via cifs
is NOT compiled/tested/shipped with AIX; smbmount,smbfs,smbsh... are not
available
on that platform; as you suggest, these are primarily a Linuxism.
Sharity is a commercial product (they have a 'lite' version that is free, I
believe)
that does something similar (allowing you to mount a windows share as a unix
fs);
but it is not associated with the Samba distribution.
You can get more info about sharity from the following url:

http://www.obdev.at

But I do not believe they have a port of this for AIX...

Hope this helps,
Don

If I may jump in here... I too am left with a question about which command
to use.

I have Samba 2.0.7 installed on AIX 4.3.3 and am trying to find a way to
mount a Windows share.  I have seen mention made of smbmount, smbfs, smbsh,
sharity, and smbwrapper.  None of these are included on my installation
(binaries downloaded from AIX's unofficial shareware site - BULL).  I am
assuming that some of these are bundled with Linux installations only.

Suggestions?
