Answering my own post... If I bring up the Java desktop and go to "Network Places" and enter "smb://Windows-hostname/share", it works - I can see the files on the Windows host. I have no idea how this works! Nothing gets mounted - the mount command shows the windows host isn't mounted. Is this accomplished through the "magic" of Java? I can't figure out how to do this through the command line, which is what I really need to do. I'll keep at it and see what happens. -Chuck On Dec 12, 2009, at 11:09 AM, Chuck Noyes wrote:
Hi All,
Maybe a bit [OT], but I've got a Solaris 10u8 host, and I'd like to be able to mount a Windows share on the Solaris box. I don't think Solaris supports the smbfs or cifs file systems (at least I can't find any evidence of it). So a command like: "mount -F smbfs //windows-host/share /mnt" won't work.
Has anyone done this? I've installed all the samba executables in /usr/bin and in /usr/sbin on the Solaris box, so there is samba support in Solaris, but I can't seem to mount the Windows share.
TIA, -Chuck _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
