Thanks to all that replied to this request, all replies received are included below: We have not opted for any solution yet, options still being considered. _______________________________________________ (original message) Hello World; I've seen discussions on how to mount/access Solaris file systems from an NT box; Have not seen any for mounting an NTFS onto a Solaris 2.5.1 box. Do I need an NT service to share the file system onto the Unix world? Do I need a Solaris server (process) to mount/access the NTFS? Any help/suggestions appreciated! _______________________________________________ Hello Angel, You mount nfs from NT like you do from any other UNIX. NFS - is a standard thing and no matter server is MacOS, WIN or MS. sure you need a nfs server service on NT side.

Only Linux (to my knowledge) has the capacity to mount SMB shares onto the filesystem in a manner analogous to NFS shares. (it is a kernel-level option that must be compiled into linux-kernel...) There are also web-based samba browser utilities out there (open source of course) which use the tools provided by samba to give browse access to SMB shares. But alas not true filesystem access. Not sure if this is any help, but possibly it is relevant. -Tim Chipman Tim Chipman <chipman@ecopiabio.com> _______________________________________________ Basicaklly you have two choices: 1) nfs server for the NT box There are several available, Hummingbird makes one and I believe the NT 4.0 Resource kit even includes an NFS server. 2) smb client for the Solaris box The ones I'm aware of are Sharity and Sharity Lite. These are available from: http://www.obdev.at/ BTW, I'm sure that this question has been asked before, you should try searching the archives, you may find more answers there. -- John -- John T.

Its primary use is to make the Solaris box look like an NT machine, but it also includes an smbclient. Just share out the resources on the NT box, and use smbclient on the Solaris box to connect....

Well, a couple of weeks ago I 'discussed' a subject 'Two-way filesharing Windows SMB/Solaris' on this list. > Do I need an NT service to share the file system onto the Unix world? > Do I need a Solaris server (process) to mount/access the NTFS? You need eg. a NFS server on the NT side to be able to NFS mount NTFS file systems on the Solaris side.
