I have installed SAMBA on my SGI Indy running Irix v5.3. There are a few
minor glitches I am still working out, but generally, I can see the
defined shares on the SGI from the Win95 machines on the network. My
question is, how do I setup the SGI to mount shares from the W95
computers? Mainly I would love to access the CD-ROM drives on the
network. How do I mount an SMB share on the windows network onto the
Irix File System (or any unix file system)? Do I need a special
piece of software to do this?

Please e-mail me responses, and thanks...

You want smbmount.

It is used like: smbmount "//<hostname>/<share>" /<mount point>
