I'm not sure I follow exactly what you're asking. smbclient can run under Solaris if compiled on it. However, smbclient is just a front-end client to browse Windows shares and give basic ftp-like file transfer capabilities. It sounds like you're asking whether it's possible to mount Windows shares on a Solaris system, like you can in Linux. Since the Solaris kernel doesn't have the necessary hooks in it, that's not possible. -- jeremy _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
