Good Day, I am currently seeking advice in regard to allowing an XP Home Edition machine to have access to a FreeBSD mount. I've looked over Samba, and not only have I seen references to XP's inability to join a 'domain based-network', but also don't really like the idea of installing Samba as it's a rather large package (relatively speaking) for what it simply does.
My only other alternative, if I am correct, is trying to obtain an NFS client for the XP machine and simply serve NFS mounts on the FBSD host. The downside to this is the cost of the NFS clients for the XP machine. :) Are there any other alternatives available here? If not, which of the above two 'solutions' would be best? I only have one BSD machine and one XP machine, and I'd like to allow read/write access to a FBSD mount from the XP machine. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. - John To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
