THE PROBLEM
have a FreeBSD box that needs to map Windoze shares
root@flea(/usr/ports/net/smbfs)ttyp3 # uname -a
FreeBSD flea.bytecraft.au.com 4.7-RC FreeBSD 4.7-RC #0: Tue Sep 24
19:41:00 EST 2002
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
on other (older) host I added /usr/ports/net/smbfs
when attempting this on current host get this message
OS versions subsequent to 500027 include smbfs
from the make.
OK I can cope with that, so I try
root@flea(~)ttyp3 # mount_smbfs -I melcms01.xxx.yyy.zzz
//ADMINISTRATOR@MELCMS01/sms /mnt
Password:
and get this
mount_smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device)
OK so I look into the /dev/MAKEDEV scripts and there is no nsmb
anywhere.
So I looked into the old hosts port working dir and found this in the
Makefile
cd /dev && && rm -f nsmb* && mknod nsmb0 c 144 0
There are currently no nsmb devices in /dev on the new host
THE QUESTION
Is this command line still appropriate or has any of the mknod
parameters changed?
