If I understand correctly...You are trying to mount a share from the Win98
box onto the Linux box? Samba allows the Windows world seamless access to
files on the UNIX world as if they were seeing files on another Windows box.
It doesn't, however, allow the UNIX world access to shares on the Windows
boxes.
I've heard about PCNFS, but I'm not sure if it can do what you need either.
I've never used it, but I've heard it allowed the PC users to access the
UNIX NFS shares. It might swing both ways. Hopefully someone else on the
list has more information on a tool for what you're doing.
Good luck,
John

Subject: simple samba question
hi all,
first off, thanx to those who answered my first question to the list
regarding permissions and Apache - the responses were much appreciated,
i was able to solve the problem.
This time, i am in need of the command, the exact command, if possible,
to mount a share on a win98 machine from my linux rh6.2 machine.
samba is installed and working on the rh6.2 machine. from the win98
machine, i am able to access the smb shares on the linux machine. I am
also able to use smbclient to send and recieve files with the 98
machine, and
smbclient -L <win98-machine> does report correctly the shares on the 98
machine.
i have checked and crosschecked the man pages for mount and smbmount, as
well as several howtows and even some newbie linux sites. i do not have
enough of a background using mount and linux in general to kludge the
proper command together! i guess that smbmount runs within mount or
something to that effect...in any case, i cannot seem to do it!
while im at it, i also cannot get swat to work. samba works fine
otherwise, and the correct swat line (according to a newbie help file)
is present in /etc/services:
swat 901/tcp
as well as inetd.conf:
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat
i didnt mess with tcp wrappers, even though it was suggested at this
time because there are only 2 computers on this little network, my SO's
and mine...
apache also works, i assume it needs to be running to serve the page.
to access swat, i have tried my-ip:901 as well as locahost:901. without
the '901', both bring up my page in /home/http like apache ought to.
thanx all,
davros
