Yes, thats what I meant.
I've never come across issues with windows writing to AIX owned Samba
shares.
I use AIX Samba shares to write large windows ghost images over the network,
and it's quick and it works. No issues.
IBM has AIX Fast Connect, a competing product with Samba. It's an official
IBM product. But I think the general consensus is to use Samba.
Actually, smbmount in Linux is the equivalent of mount -t smbfs, which works
too.

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
<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
