Re: How can I see the AS/400 from my Linux box?

[lgoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Loyd Goodbar)]

Both syntaxes appear proper; I looked at the man page for mine. I did this one
on my Linux box at home with success:

smbmount '//io/archive' /mnt/io

Irregardless of the platform, smbmount should work the same way. It's passing
the mount point to the mount program to use with the SMBFS file system. I just
made it explicit by using the -c parameter to specify the exact mount command.

On my system at least (don't know about FreeBSD), I need quote marks around
the slashes for the share name to prevent expansion by the shell.

Life would be a lot easier if I just had an AS/400 at home. :)

Many ways to accomplish the same!
