Re: sambafs/smbmount questions

[Kyle Burton <mortis@voicenet.com>]

I've used smbclient before, and had it work well.  You need to have
smb compiled into your kernel (or loaded as a module) first.

You could use hte ftp like smbclient just to test your connection
to the box that's providing the share

  smbclient //host/share_name

You may need to pass a workgroup/domain name, and user/password information
depending on how the share is set up.

  smbmount //host/share_name /mount_point

should be very similar to netware [ncpmount] or nfs [mount host:/path]

All the info I've just offered is available from the manpages for
smbclient and smbmount...
