UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hello,

I like to mount an windows folder on my NT4 system in
my UNIX system.
How can i do that, i have installed SAMBA 2.2.7 on my Unix
machine so i can access the UNIX machine from the NT .
Do i need to install anything on the NT machine, or anymore
software on the UNIX.
I tried to do an ordinary mount i got an message
RPC: Program not registred

Can someone just give me a hint so i know where to start.

Thanx
/Nick

Normally that error comes from the fact that the NFS server isn't running the proper processes to allow your client to mount a drive.

Post your OS and version and the mount command you are attempting.

Also use the search button for this site to find other posts about your problem (such as this one ).

I believe SAMBA installs a program called "mount_smb" which allows you to mount a Windows shared folder into a Unix system.

try this:

to view the shares:

$ smbclient -L host -U username

to mount the shares:

# mount -t smbfs //machine/dir /mountpoint -o username=user

# smbmount //machine/dir /mountpoing -o username=user

regards!

Not all Unix variants can mount a windows share to the filesystem. Notably, I know that Linux can. The BSD's may as well - I can't recall. AIX, for example, can't.

It depends entirely on your Unix.

That's for shure, if the kernel doesn't have support for the filesystem in question, there is now way to mount the share.

Linux is good
