Thanks to Christian Starkjohann for helping me out. On another note I've determined that the sharity-light BSD port works with XP, but if you install service pack 1 on XP then sharity-light no longer works. Since you can't uninstall the SP1, if you need sharity-light then don't install XP SP1.
I looked in the archives and hadn't noticed any posts on this yet so I thought I'd warn ya'll. -Bo Byrd -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Christian Starkjohann Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 11:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Bo Byrd Subject: Re: [Sharity-talk] sharity light question with OpenBSD Bo Byrd wrote: > I can get smbclient to connect to my Win2K-AdvancedServer's (NetBIOS name is > bo and the workgroup is NETENG) administrative C$ share from my > OpenBSD3.1-stable system (hostname of sol) but I can't get sharity-light to > mount it.

Has anyone been able to > get this to work? Sharity-Light needs to bind to a reserved UDP port (port number < 1024) on the loopback interface 127.0.0.1. Have you checked whether your loopback interface is configured correctly? The 'bind' is needed for communication with the kernel, not with the CIFS server. An other note which should not be related with your error message: I would recommend that you quote the shell meta-character '$' to avoid interpretation by the shell. > I also tried subscribing to the sharity list but cant > seem to convince them that I want in on the mailing list. You ARE on the list, you had not been able to post to it otherwise. Regards, Christian. -- Dipl.-Ing.
