Great! thanks this worked so easily (AIX to AIX mount).

Now I'm trying to use SMB fs to mount PC directories.
Does this work with "workgroups" only and not "domain" accounts?

Joe,

Not at all.

Either edit the "/etc/exports": file or use SMIT to place the name of the
fs you want to share with the client. Then run "exportfs -a" on the
server.

Now, go to the 'client' where you want to mount the fs. To be sure all is
correct, you can do a "showmount -e <ServerHostName>" to see that it is
exporting the fs you want to the client you are on with the options you
need.

Now, on the client you can run "mount <ServerHostname>:/fs
/some_local_dir_name"

This will mount the fs from the server on the client at that local_dir
location.

Of course the client side can be done with the help of SMIT also. And, you
will either want to put a stanza in the clients "/etc/filesystems" file so
the mount returns after a reboot. Or you can setup an automount.

All this can be read about in the man pages or other docs.

Is it complicated to mount a remote AIX fs?
I'm only familiar with rcp and rsh.
