AIX equivalent of smbmount???

[BobMCT]

I've asked this question on the Samba group and was told that smbmount is a linux specific utility. As we use samba on various AIX machines to share resources, we now need to have an AIX box share a resource (directory & files) that reside on an NT box.

What utility other than smbmount can achieve this on AIX???

Thanks in advance.

Dear friend, the form to do what you need this specified in IBM's redbook called "Samba Installation, Configuration, and Sizing Guide" that you can obtain from

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com.

Hi

Use the smbclient command. But here as you expect it will not mount. Instead you will get the smb> prompt where in you can list, get or put the files, kinda ftp.

Hi. Here's a script that I use to select the mount from a list that I want:
tput clear
while
echo "Samba Directory Mounts List "
echo " 1. Tower C: Drive"
echo " 2. Tower D: Drive"
echo " 3. Tower E: Drive"
echo " 4. Tower F: Drive (Top CDROM)"
echo " 5. Tower G: Drive (Bottom CDROM)"
echo " 6. Lynn's C: Drive"
echo " 7. Lynn's D: Drive"
echo " 8. Laptop C: Drive"
echo " 9. Laptop D: Drive"
echo " r. Return "
echo " e. Exit "
echo " Option : "; read OPT
do
case $OPT
in
1) smbclient \\\\\tower\\c password;;
2) smbclient \\\\\tower\\d password;;
3) smbclient \\\\\tower\\e password;;
4) smbclient \\\\\tower\\f password;;
5) smbclient \\\\\tower\\g password;;
6) smbclient \\\\\lynn\\c password;;
7) smbclient \\\\\lynn\\d password;;
8) smbclient \\\\\laptop\\c password;;
9) smbclient \\\\\laptop\\d password;;
'e') exit;;
'r') return;;
'') exit;;
*)echo "\n THIS FUNCTION IS NOT AVAILABLE NOW - PLEASE TRY LATER\n";;
esac
done
echo

Each time you make a selection, it will drop you to the smb: \> prompt, from which you can run dos commands. Type exit to get out.
