Re: Accessing Windows Share

[Chris Brotherton]

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.

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.

I want to mount a windows share on my FreeBSD box (alpha 500au running

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.
