Nt share on AIX! 1

There's a product called facetwin by Facetcorp. It will allow your RS6000 to act as a SMB server and also provides a ftp style interface for getting files from the WinXX environments. I know there's a command called smbmount in Samba but It's only in the linux version of samba that I've seen. The version of samba I had loaded a while back didn't include the smbmount command. Hope that helps!!! Good luck. Scott Figgins

Hi,
Here are some more inputs:
1. SFU (Microsoft Services For Unix)
- installed on Windows machine
- nfs client/server on Windows
- Price - $150
2. Hummingbird
- installed on Windows machine
- nfs client/server on Windows
- Price - $400 for Client and Server, Client only option available ($249)
3. Samba
- installed on Unix machine
- free software
- Disadvantages:
- difficult to configure (difficult network configuration procedures)
- poor performance (preliminary results, might be improved by some fine-tuning)
- No future guarantee for future AIX versions support
============================
If you want to try with Samba 2.0.7 (latest version), here is the download path:
Bring the file to the your directory, then type at the # SAMBA_aix432-2.0.7.0.exe <enter>, this will give you a bff file. Then type:
bffcreate -d <yourDIR> -w /tmp -t <newDIR> freeware.SAMBA <enter>.
This will create an image file which can be installed via smit install_latest. You get then three folders under /usr/local: lib, bin and man. With older versions, it used to create a directory called samba and place all the stuff in there, but not with this version.
===========================
Running samba 2.0.7 on a AIX with version 4.2.1, I get about
8 MB a second throughput, when copying files from the AIX to the PC!
