If you want to access shared folders on a window-machine, you can use "mount_smbfs" wich is standard situated in /usr/sbin directory. If you want your freebsd machine look like a window-machine with shared folders, then you can use samba. It is not that heavy_weight as you think. It's easy to install (as a package) and has a nice web-interface for configuring. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
