Thanks much people for all the responses about smbsh and smbwrapper.
It was not in the compiled binaries as I first downloaded but I found it in
the source
version. I tried compiling SAMBA v2.0.0 with an older rev of gcc (2.6) and
had a ton
of problems. I do have SparcCompiler cc and it compiled flawlessly for
Solaris 2.6
on a Sparc20. I also compiled and installed the smwrapper and read the doc
on it.
Now the bad news....What do I do with it? My original question was that I
need to
mount an NT server/workstation drive from my Sparcstation and that smbsh was
what
I needed. Can anyone give me a semi-detailed procedure?
It just isn't intuitive to me...Granted, I'm dumb as a bag of hammers at
times, but
I just don't see it. What do I put in my "fstab" file? Do I need to start
something
on the NT side?...Etc.
Thanks...GeorgeC
