[Samba] HP-UX smbmount

[eric]

Ron,

If you have an HP-UX 11.0 system, it may already have the
HP CIFS/9000 Client installed; if not you can get it free
at software.hp.com.  It is not the smbfs from the Samba
group, it is a full product that actually provides greater
functionality than smbfs.  In fact, it is an enhanced
version of the third-party product "Sharity".

The HP CIFS Client is integrated with the HP-UX mount(1M)
command, supports CIFS Unix Extensions, and the version we
will release in a few weeks supports Kerberos.  The HP CIFS
Client is not implemented in the kernel, but its performance
is very good, comparable to NFS in most cases.  The most
recent user manual and release note can be found at docs.hp.com.

Good luck.
