Hello

We have NFS setup on our HP ux server so our windows servers/clients
can access hpux shares.. now how can I mount a windows NTFS share onto
the hp ux?


Do i need a kernel patch like in linux?

Dear soulcrusher,


I would use CIFS to mount Windows shares.

CIFS is called Samba on Linux.


Kind regards,

For mounting Windows SMB shares on HP-UX you need the CIFS Client (samba 
is just the CIFS server, it can export shares but not mount them)...

Benjamin,


I agree that you need the client, but on Red Hat Linux and SuSe Linux 
both client and server are called Samba.

Ok, I didn't know that (I avoid Linux whenever possible). In HP-UX you 
need the CIFS Client for that.

A much simpler way on non CIFS client systems like HP-UX is to 
install Windows Services for Unix

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sfu/

which is now free and comes with an NFS server. You can then mount
it as if it was a Unix box via NFS. Should install on 2003 server 
and XP

Thanks

Right, the SFU are indeed very nice, and they work flawlessly on 
Windowsxp, too.

You've got it a little backwards. Samba is provided in a (slightly) modified
and HP-supported package called CIFS/9000. But it *is* Samba...

Just FYI, I don't think SFU is supported by MS anymore... In addition, most of
it is now included as part of the OS in Windows 2003 R2...

Why should that be the case?

Right, _most_ but not _all_. Besides that, SFU is not just for Windows 
Server 2003 but also for other Windows variants inkluding Windowsxp. I'd 
be really surprised if MS would stop supporting SFU for all Windows 
versions just because the warmed up Server 2003 got some of the features...

Yes we have that installed t omap our windows clients/servers to our
unix shares but.. I need to do the opposite, map windows share to the
unix server... you cannot do that with SFU,, at least not that I know
of...

Yes, you can, but as NFS shares, not SMB (aka CIFS) shares. You configure the
Windows box as an NFS server with SFU and then the Unix box mounts the share
with NFS client.
