Hmm, interesting! How stable is it? Does it allow automated mount through a script (passing authentication?) Right now I'm backing up manually(!) using smbmount. We do not have tape drives. All we have is empty space on our Windows boxes. So, I have to backup all of my OpenSolaris boxes to the Windows drives. I'm trying to find a better way, or an automated way. I'm using smbmount right now with CPIO. I *think* I may install Unix Services for Windows and then backup all of my SUN boxes from the Windows machines. Perhaps... Can one setup an NFS share on OpenSolaris without requiring authentication (guest privileges perhaps?) -----Original Message----- From: Robert Thurlow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2007 8:53 AM To: Angie Moore Cc: opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org Subject: Re: [osol-discuss] back to windows share -possible automated?

It seems that the smbmount command is a bit a headache. If you're a bit bold, there's the smbfs project, to mount a Windows share directly on Solaris: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/smbfs/ We just released our Alpha 2, which has read-write capability: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/smbfs/downloads/Alpha2/ http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/smbfs/RELEASE_NOTES_20070821.html How are you backing things up?
