Thank you Sean and Ray.
I would like to install VNSTAT (http://torus.lnet.lut.fi/vnstat/) on the router to monitor network traffic. It has to maintain a database and I do not have nor want to use hard-disk in my router. I could add another floppy but I do not like the idea of write/read with floppy, very hardware error-prone. So I am thinking about being able to write and read to/from a remote machine.
I think Jacques has samba.lrp and I think I can use smbclient to mount a system from remote Linux or Windows. I never use smbclient, only smbserver, so just wonder if it is possible.
No (or at least I think the answer is no). I don't use smbclient either, but I do have it installed on a workstation, and its man page says it provides "ftp-like access". I don't see any options for mounting smb filesystems, only for getting directories, doing puts and gets, and other ftp-style stuff.
I believe you need to add kernel support for smb filesystems, at which point either mount or smbmount will let you mount a remote SMB share on the LEAF router. Not having done it (that is, I've done this with Debian servers, but not with LEAF), I don't know if doing it with Bering requires a kernel recompile or if it can be done with modules ... though I do see an smbfs.o module in Bering's modules tarball, which is encouraging.
