Aaah ! Then the NFS error will be something to deal with. SSH, FTP, HTTP are the only mechanisms that I can think of. Unless you smb export some other folder which could contain a symlink to the NTFS mount (on the machine 1). Haven't tried such stuff and I'm away from OpenSolaris boxes, so can't help more at the moment. > But when I try to share the data on (1) using CIFS (SMB), it says it cannot > share something which is already an NFS mount.
