I'm interested in the 5.2 feature that supposedly allows directly mounting a CIFS share, not Samba, or FastConnect. Been there, done that. Currently we export file systems from our NAS (EMC Celerra) and NFS mount them to AIX, but it would be more convenient to be able to mount CIFS shares from other locations.
Unless I'm reading wrong, the "AIX 5L Differences Guide, Version 5.2 Edition," section 8.16, "SMB file system support (5.2.0)" outlines how to do it, but I've not been able to make it work. This isn't Samba.
Thanks for the responces
Harold

I've tried mounting CIFS shares with 5.2 but have not been successful.
Anyone know of a how-to reference (Redbook?) on how it's done?

For some reason only Linux can mount windows share using Samba.
AIX 5.2 does come with CIFS filesystem which lets you mount windows
shares I've read. I have not done so though.

Out of interest, can Windows share directories only be accessed
on AIX using the smbclient command, or can they simply be
mounted like NFS drives and accessed by standard AIX commands?

Hi:
If you want to share folders between Unix and Windows,
you can run a samba server on the Unix side and access
the shares from Windows, another way is to use samba
clients from Unix to access shares from Windows side.
It depends on what you need.

Asunto: Simple samba question
Samba runs as a server on a Unix system and allows
Windows to connect to it as clients. Am I correct?
Someone wants me to run samba on Win2000 as a server,
with a AIX box acting as a client. Is this possible, or
desirable? Ther requirement is to share a directory
between the AIX and Win2000 box.
