Question about smbsh / smbfs / smbmount

[Per Kofod]

smbfs/smbmount is as far as I know only available for Linux
smbsh proberly don't give you all the functionality you need, it gives
you the ability to access the files on the NT when running under this
shell ( ls and cp; but you cannot cd to the directories )

Another productthat should give you the required functionality is
Sharity.
Sharity is however not freeware; but a free demoversion exists, that is
restricted to 3 directory levels.
