Accessing Windows Share
I want to mount a windows share on my FreeBSD box (alpha 500au running 4.7). I added the following options to my kernel configuration file: options NETSMB options NETSMBCRYPTO options LIBMCHAIN options LIBICONV options SMBFS When I compile my kernel, I get the following error: unknown option SMBFS Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I'm not sure about why options SMBFS doesn't work, but I've never had to add anything to my kernel in order to make Samba work. I just had to install Samba itself and was able to mount SMB shares with no problems. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Accessing Windows Share
If you want to mount Windows shares without Samba, though, you need SMBFS and a comman like: mount_smbfs -W [Workgroup or Domain] -I [IP address of Windows server] //windowsuser@netbiosname/sharename /FreeBSD mount point This prompts you for a password. The docs say that a -N arguement may contain the password on the command (or script) line, but I've never gotten that to work.

Re: Accessing Windows Share
I tried to install smbfs with ports and received the following message: smbfs-1.4.1 OS versions subsequent to 440002 include smfs I was under the impression that smfs is part of the base system, but that I had to include options in the kernel config. If I try and use mount_smbfs, I get: Command not found. Chris. p.s. I have samba-2.2.6 already installed.

Hrmm, I've never even heard of smbfs before :) If I try and use mount_smbfs, I get: Command not found. Chris. p.s. I have samba-2.2.6 already installed. I have samba-3.0 installed, I believe. It is on my workstation at work, which I cannot access remotely, and I do not use SMB at home. I do know that, on my system at work, /sbin/mount_smbfs was installed by the Samba port.

Either way, I had heard of smbfs before. I remember a year or two ago mount_smbfs was not available on FreeBSD, so this might have been a recent development.

SMBFS has been part of the kernel for a few months now. A tutorial can be found here. http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200208/smbfs.html I have the following in my kernel and it seems to work fine. I removed the net/smbfs port before adding it to the kernel. options NETSMB options NETSMBCRYPTO options LIBMCHAIN options LIBICONV options SMBFS But I'm running on i386, not alpha like the original post. I'm not sure if it's supported for that architecture. jpc To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
