Very Computer

The recent Linux Journal contained a Samba article that got me all
interested!  I downloaded the source, compiled, installed.  I can
query and list Win95 shares but there is one option mentioned in the
article that is apparently not (?) in the current version.

How do I mount a Win95 share in the Linux /mnt file system???

I can access the shares via smbclient in the ftp like mode but I'd
like to perform the mount as was mentioned in the magazine article.

I have the HowTo, and 2 different versions of the FAQ but this does
not seem to be covered.  There is a lot of coverage on printing which
is what I want to do next ... but first ...

Thanks in advance for any input!

: How do I mount a Win95 share in the Linux /mnt file system???

The answer might be to download smbfs-2.0.2.tar.gz (I might not
recall the name exactly) from, e.g., Sunsite.  It's misleadingly
named -- it's not smbfs, actually, but the utilities smbmount
and smbumount.

I have a related question.  Using linux 2.1.57, I tried the
version of the utilities in smbfs-2.1.1, and got them almost
working.  Except after mounting a share then unmounting it,
subsequently, after mounting a new share, "ls" reports it can't
find the files that were in the first share.  Maybe someone
can suggest what I might have done wrong.
