Unix client NT server

[Will Spies/Towers Perrin]

I have not put this on any Unix yet. I wanted to first understand whether
or not what I want to do is doable. Based on the answers it seems it is and
I can from Unix mount a share which is actually an NT filesystem. Thanks
for your help!

man smbclient?

What flavour of *nix are you talking about ...

Linux and *BSD has kernel support to make it look like a normal filesystem
(smbfs). Samba's smbwrapper may work on your platform. Or Sharity(-light).
Or perhaps putting a NFS server on the NT box.
