But that leaves a mystery. The man page of mount indicates the existence of a mount.smbfs (which does not seem to exist). Then there is smbmount which I thought used to exist but I can't find it in the distribution. The implication is that you can mount a file share. Can you? And if you can , how do you do it? -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
