This is the first such request I've actually seen, though Guenter Kukkukk mentioned it on IRC last week.

Warp 4 was no fun to get installed on the contemporary hardware of its 1996 release, and it only got worse as technology advanced. Anyone who wants to run OS/2 on recent or current hardware needs to be using MCP installation media, or eCS installation media, both of which start about 4 years more recent, and are much easier to install than the original Warp 4. To install the original Warp 4 on newer hardware usually requires updating its installation CD: http://www.updcd.tk/ Once installed, it's readily portable to other systems via partition cloning, and doesn't halt on finding new hardware like windoz does. The version I'm running here on an i915P Socket 775 SATA system was originally installed on a i865P PATA system around 4 years ago. My previous installation has been run on probably a dozen different systems, both AMD & Intel, Socket 7, Socket 370, Slot 1, Socket A, and Socket 478. -- "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

I think cifs should be able to work in those cases, but I can't personally verify it. See page 4 of the cifs client documentation at: http://pserver.samba.org/samba/ftp/cifs-cvs/linux-cifs-client-guide.pdf Excerpt: = 2) mount syntax: mounting to older servers (those prior to1997) may require specifying two additional fields beyond those which smbfs required: a) The server's netbios (RFC1001) name AND the server's tcp (or ip ) address. CIFS does not assume, as smbfs did, that the tcp name and the netbios name of the server are the same. The netbios name of the server is specified by passing the mount option “servern=SERVERNAME” and is not assumed to be necessarily the same as the tcp name of the server (also note that the netbios name is usually capitalized). Both tcp/ip name and netbios name have to be specified for mounts for most old lanman servers. For example: mount -t cifs //tcp-name-of-server/sharename /mnt -o user=username,sec=lanman,servern=SERVERNAME b) A security option allowing weaker password hashes to be used. Specifying “sec=lanman” in the mount options allows the client to send weaker lanman hashes to the server. Older servers such as Windows 98 require this. Mounting to more current servers with stronger authentication (ntlmv2) typically requires an additional mount option (unless the security flags are changed in /proc/fs/cifs) “sec=ntlmv2” = -- Chris -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

If you can get CIFS to work as a replacement to SMBFS, that's what you should do. If you have Win9x and/or OS/2 shares on your network, you'll need to recompile your SUSE kernel to include SMBFS support to provide acceptable access to those shares. The kernel developers seem to have planned to remove the possibility to recompile with SMBFS enabled in post-2.6.24 kernels. -- "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
