fstype in SunOS 5.8

[Sean Elble]

Hello,

Unfortunately, the "smbfs" is a Linux-only solution, as it is a component of
the kernel, and, as you have found out, it is not available with Solaris.
You have two alternatives available to you; you can use the smbclient
software, which allows you to mount a Windows or Samba server share on your
Solaris machine. Also, you could use the smbsh software, IIRC. Also, please
avoid posting to the mailing list in HTML format, if it is possible.
Unfortunately, sending mail in HTML format has a negative impact upon
archiving and the digest of Samba. Hope this helps.
