Hi all.

So looking on the web I do seem to read that solaris cannot actually
mount a samba share.. is this true?
I know I can access it through file manager - so I can actually see the
files on the share, but I need to access it from a script; and cannot
figure out if there actually is a path I can get to.

I do have smbclient, but I see no option other than an interactive
session to ue it, and get/put, like ftp....

Any ideas?

Thx!

I wouldn't call it a "samba" share but yes.  The filesystem code that is
distributed with Samba to mount a SMB/CIFS volume is linux-specific.

There is "Sharity" and "Sharity Lite".  There's also an active
OpenSolaris project for adding a smbfs filesystem, but that code is not
yet in a released state.

Why, yes.

cat <<EOF | smbclient -U user%pass //hostname/share
mkdir blah
put something blah\\something
EOF

or similar. Works great in scripts.
