No ownership issues at this point, just project 'proof of concept' sort
of thing.
I was thinking I could have the aix server provide a mount_point for the
win2k box to write to
via samba but thought it would be better if it wrote natively. Is that
what you are referring to?
I gather smbmount is a linux alternative to the generic unix mount cmd.

Does it really matter who owns it?
You can still do that with Samba and AIX permissions; windows can be R/W
and AIX R/O. (The AIX R/O might be tricky, but windows R/W easy)
You need additional software, like Hummingbird Maestro NFS, to publish
NFS shares from windows.
smbclient is command oriented and not persistent like smbmount on Linux
is.

I'll have a look at sharity.
To use nfs I would just use my Windows Admin account to share a folder
and
then I would use the mknfsmount cmd to establish the mount point?
I looked at smbclient a little without a good understanding of what it
might do for me.
>From your 'ftp reference' it looks like that may not be the answer.
The idea is this shared_folder will be r/w by my windows server and
readable by my aix box.
Thanks, Mark

Can't with Samba. smbmount is only in Linux kernel.
Might look @ Sharity ( http://www.obdev.at/products/sharity/index.html
). Or NFS as a last resort.
Depends on what you want to do also. Samba has the smbclient
application that allows connections similar to ftp...

Subject: windows share to aix server
Greetings,
I have done some work with SAMBA and use it allow my windows
clients to connect to an aix share. So am no longer a samba newbie.
However now I need to go the other way and share a win2k folder to an
aix server.
Is samba involved here?
How would I accomplish this?
Mark
