Re: browsing windows drives with samba
You can also use sharity-light /usr/ports/net/sharity-light It's easy to use and you don't need Samba installed. - Original Message - From: "Stephen Hilton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Aslak Evang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 8:41 AM Subject: Re: browsing windows drives with samba > On Thu, 6 Feb 2003 20:17:18 +0100 > "Aslak Evang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I've used samba a lot for browsing my freebsd drives with my windows pc's, > > but whats the best way to do it the other way around?

I have used and like /usr/ports/net/xsmbrowser. You do need Samba installed on the FreeBSD box used to browse the networks SMB shares.

xftree (part of the xfce window manager/desktop) has a "Browse
SMB Network" facility. Works great in the NT domain environment here.
xftree was the reason why I switched from fluxbox to xfce. I don't
like the CDE-like panel you get with it but you can minimise that
as long as you can find another way of starting xftree easily (I map
it to one of the Windows keys which are otherwise unused).

I've read about smbclient, but I've been told in Linux there are kernel modules you can load to be able to browse windows network shares like you would "normally" in a windows network neighbourhood. Don't know the Linux app you're referring to. But there's also sharity-lite and smbfs (see man page for mount_smbfs). Also I've heard that there's some sort of app for KDE that let's you do it as well? Can anyone enlighten me? Konquerer (the KDE browser) allows you to surf SMB shares just like "network neighborhood" on Win. I believe it requires that Samba be installed on the local machine. I've noted its existence, but never used it. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
browsing windows drives with samba
I've used samba a lot for browsing my freebsd drives with my windows pc's, but whats the best way to do it the other way around? I've read about smbclient, but I've been told in Linux there are kernel modules you can load to be able to browse windows network shares like you would "normally" in a windows network neighbourhood. Is something like that availiable for FBSD? Also I've heard that there's some sort of app for KDE that let's you do it as well?
