There are no known versions of SMBMOUNT or equivalent that have been ported
to OpenVMS.  This would be a significant project.


The information for the OpenVMS port can be found at

http://ifn03.ifn.ing.tu-bs.de/ifn/sonst/samba-vms.html

There is also a mailing list specifically for that port.

A more recent, but experimental and entirely unsupported version can be
found at
