Re: [rhn-users] linux share

["Brett Davidson" <brettrdavidson comcast net>]

I'm not sure I understand. The smbclient runs under Linux. Are you mapping
between two Linux systems and you want to use smbclient to do so? Yes, you
can. I'd use NFS, but you can. I've only used this when I had a need to map
a Windows share into my Linux directory tree. The process would be the same
though.

Assume the share on the target machine is LinShare and the server's called
LinBox
The simplest way to accomplish this is to use smbmount (unless they use
something else in the distribution now, you'll have to see if its obsolete):

smbmount //LinBox/LinShare /mnt/shared

The standard call template is: smbmount //SERVER/SHARE /mnt/directory

This will map the client share into your Linux directory tree. The
'/mnt/shared' directory has to exist and, preferably, be empty prior to
making the call to smbmount.

To disconnect, you can make use of umount
