Mounting NT volumes from unix and linux

[unixrookie]

can anyone explain how i can mount a volume on a win2k machine so it can be seen on a unix or linux machine. i have some syslog files i'd like to pour through using some scripts. short of ftp'ing them over to the unix/linux machine

get samba.

http://www.samba.org

or download precompiled for Solaris from

http://www.sunfreeware.com/

did you ever figure this one out? I installed samba but it seems to be only a one way stree going in the wrong way...I can share my solaris directories but there doesnt seem to be a mechanism for sharing windows so that the sun can use them. there seems to be a linux samba mechanism for doing it, but not in the solaris samba versions.

anyway, i need to make windows shares available to the unix box...and havnt been able to do it yet..

I think Microsoft sells something that can make Windows shares available to Unix.

smbclient that comes with samba allows unix/linux users to access windows shares, run it in a terminal window. It is not a GUI and uses an interface and commands similar to ftp.

search for smbfs on google or

http://www.samba.org.

With linux you use:

mount -t smbfs //winserver/directory /mnt_point

I think with solaris should be the same.

Or try this:

from the page:
"SMB to NFS protocol converter: Sharity Light
With this program, written by Christian Starkjohann, you can make SMB shares available to NFS clients who do not have anything like smbfs."
