How to map an NT share under HP-UX

[Robert Hickey]

How do I map an NT share as a drive letter under HP-UX ?
I have no problem doing the reverse, mapping a UNIX share under NT.

2 possibilities , either using SAMBA which is complete freeware (the commercial version is called CIFS9000) or using ASU which is a non-freeware and thus buying option

Thanks Jan,
Where can I get SAMBA and once it is installed what is the command that I need to run to map the drive.

The samba client doesn't work for hpux (without a lot of work), so you will need the cifs9000 client (samba in nature).

The cifs9000 command to mount is:

cifsmount //servername/sharename /dir2mounton -U username -P password

If you are using active directory, then nothing will work, because M$ decided to modify the kerbos standard (to lock out others).

well that is simple to start , as it's freeware you could get the source on internet and compile it ,try the website va.samba.org , as far as i know the ux 11.versions should offer a free CIFS9000 , you can find it on software.hp.com website (pay attention it doesn't hold HP support you'll need to buy that), as far as helping you with setting it up I'll have some more trouble as I know only little of it's setup

Thanks Sven, I will try Harry's solution and let you both know how I got on.
