Re: samba or NFS mount
The samba server is designed to make a Unix server look like an NT server to WinTel boxes. The samba client (which is what you need) is used to "mount" WinTel shares on your Unix client. Haven't used it in a while but it was rather arcane a few years ago, but pretty easy to get the hang of. If you are running a GUI (and I assume you are if you are viewing spreadsheets) it should probably be pretty straightforward.

A samba server allows you to export directories from a non-Windows box such that they look like shared Windows directories. - Since NT already has the capability to share directories in the way that Windows does it, there's no need to run a samba server on it. - Since the Linux box will only be mounting samba shares, not exporting them, it doesn't need to run a samba server either. It just needs a samba client, such as a kernel built with SMB filesystem support. -- "Two words: Windows survives." - Craig Mundie, Microsoft senior strategist "So does syphillis.

Re: samba or NFS mount
Thank you for the reply. So samba is the only way to "mount" an NT filesystem? Sounds good... Do I need to run a samba server on the linux machine or would the server be an application on the NT machine. I went to samba.org/samba to read the FAQs and I'm still a little confused as to what I do to get started. Thanks! D. Ghost On Sat, 25 Nov 2000, Jonathan D.

Hi, AFAIK if the files are on an NT server your only option is samba, although if you really wanted to get weird you could use appletalk wich both NT and GNU/Linux (via netatalk) can speak -Jon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

samba or NFS mount
Hey Guys, I was wondering what would be better to use in this situation. I want to basically be able to have read access to a particular LAN device on which the files are on a NT server and the client(s) that I want to be able to read files (mostly spreadsheets *.xls) that change daily. So I guess the question I have is would samba be better to use or some other nfs protocal? Thank you kindly, Sir D.

Anyone know of an IMAP forwarder? I know there's one for POP..
