I have used 'mount_smbfs //user@host/c\$ /mnt' which has worked
fine under FreeBSD 5.4-p7. In my example I added host to /etc/hosts
and <br>
things work just fine. <br><br>
Hope this helps.<br><br>

On a recent install I implemented an OpenBSD server in a small office.
It's doing dhcp, Dynamic DNS, and running Samba. Samba is acting as a
domain controller. In the near future I'll also be implementing a
database with a web front end to track some very basic data for the
client. So that's a little background. As part of my backup strategy I've
installed a DVD burner in the server, but I'd also planned to do a
nightly back up to the network (one of the workstations has a large HDD,
so I created a partition specifically for this purpose). The idea being
that in the event of a crash the data would essentially be instantly
available. (at least up to the last backup, obviously). <br><br>
Since this is a windows share, I'm trying to use Sharity-Light to mount
it, but this is proving elusive. I've not had much difficulty using
shlight at work with Windows 2000 servers, but in this case I'm trying to
access XP pro SP 2 and no matter what I try I am getting an "access
denied" error. The Windows "firewall" is disabled on the
box in question. <br><br>
I've tried various usernames, including the Samba domain user that the
user logs in to the machine with, a local administrative account from the
Windows box, and even root. No luck. The partition is formatted ntfs, and
shared. At this point the security is set to allow Everyone full control,
though I plan to change this once I get this working......I'm sorry that
I can't be more specific tonight, as I'm not near the system, but I'll be
there in the next couple of days so I can provide more info if need be.
<br><br>
Anyhow, has anyone used Sharity light to access XP Pro SP2? Any pointers,
tips or ideas will be appreciated. <br><br>
Is it worth trying Sharity? I notice they have an OpenBSD Binary
available, though it was compiled on 3.6 and requires installing a couple
of 3.6 libraries... is this advisable? (
