Trying to get LINUX to 'mount' a PC share. smbd appears to be running as I can use smbclient fine. Reilly book says smbmount is deprecated - and not supported so I try smbsh - which in SUSE6.4 does not appear to be recognised. Does that mean that smbwrappers is not part of the kernel. So I try typing smbmount - t smbfs //myserver/share (Reilly) and it quotes the smbmount syntax implying I got it wrong. What does a 'service' mean in this context? What should I use? - or perhaps smbfs is not part of kernel? Cant do it the other way either. Using simple smb.conf from Reilly and putting Linux host in host file in the PC, it (the PC) will still not connect to the share. Tried accessing swat - doesn't appear to the running. Tried to get it to run with swat 901/tcp & (as per Reilly) and it appears in ps list - but still can't connect. -- Alan Davies Head of Computing Birkenhead School
