is it possible to mount a samba/windows nt file share to a local folder on the as400?
we have on our as400 a web app that generates reports and such.

Assuming that netserver is running, the NT share must be in the same domain as the AS400. Supposedly, the shares will get mounted automatically at IPL time, but maybe only if they are in the same segment as the AS400. I've never had that luxury. All of our NT share names end in "$", so I always have to run MKDIR /QNTC/sharename, after which they are visible. MKDIR runs verrrrry slowly, but once mounted, data access seems quite reasonable. In order to access the data from the AS400, the user name and password must be identical on the AS400 and the NT domain. If that's not possible, you can get around the requirement by obtaining a profile handle to a user ID that does have an identical password on both systems. It's not necessary to know the password, as long as the real user has *USE authority for the profile being adopted. With a little up front effort it has worked pretty well for us.
