When configuring the kernel, choose the option that allows you to use experimental drivers. Then you will see the samba long filenames driver, I haven't tried it yet, my new compiled gernel gives me a gpf :) Also of note, this is in the 2.0.6 source which can be gotten as a debian package, there more recent kernels probably have better versions of the long file names driver if this one doesn't work... Until now I didn't even know about smbmount though I looked at NET-2-HOWTO and such... can anyone tell me how do I get a list of services or whatever that I could mount with it? Also, anyone get Appletalk working? Thanks, Raf -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
