Troy,
Samba on AIX does have the smbclient that will allow you to operate on a
windows share kinda like an ftp session, but will not mount it.
AIX 5.2 has a cifs file system capability and is probably just fast connect
or a derivative of it.
Maybe thats the fileset you are referring to? (bos.cifs_fs)

I've got a related question.
I've trying to mount a windows share on my AIX box, instead of the
usual mount a Unix share in windows.
I've been working with Fast Connect and Samba and M$ Services for Unix,
but none have a usable solution for my particular case. I've read a
bit about a couple other commercial products - but a purchase is going
to be my last resort.
Only the out-of-date product Connections offers that option.
(which we are currently using on an older 4.3.2 box, but I'm reluctantly
going to have to install on our new AIX5.1/B80 box.)
also, smbmount from Samba does not build on AIX.
NFS generated way too much network traffic noise for my LAN/WAN guys.
Reading numerous pages on IBM's site - I found a reference to bos.cifs_fs
lpp that will allow this, but I can't that package anywhere.
Any one have this package or any other solutions?
TIA,
Troy
