I'll assume you meant "find out what resources other computers are sharing over the network" there. For SMB servers, "smbclient -L MACHINE" will show you all the network filesystems, printers, and various other things that MACHINE is making available via SMB. You can use an IP address instead of a machine name too. You may need the -U username and -W workgroup options, depending on how the remote machines are set up. For NFS servers, "showmount -e MACHINE" should show you all the NFS filesystems that MACHINE is making available. For printers, the CUPS web interface shows quite a bit of info about many modern printers hooked to a network, but I'm not sure how it gets that info. "lpinfo" might be what you're looking for. Can't tell; I don't have a printer at home. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
