Your problem is not completely clear to me, but it sounds like you might want to search for something like Samba.

Hi,

Welcome to the ITRC forums!

CIFS/9000 is an HP product based on Samba that will provide this functionality for HP-UX 11 and above. It's free and is supported by HP, as long as you have HP-UX support from HP.

The software is available for download from http://software.hp.com and documentation from http://docs.hp.com

regards,

Darren.

As a Windows "SHARE" or NFS mount?

For a Unix System to see a Windows File system is a bit problematic, I prefer using a little NFS server on Windows 2000 if I need to see an exported file system from Un*x. There are several good ones either fairly inexpensive and some open source.

I mount a drive on a 2000 server, that has the ability to set an NFS share up,
then all I have to do is modify the /etc/fstab with the correct IP information and mount point. create the mount point on your Un*x server as a /

For example

I have a 2000 server called "nas"
place the IP address in the /etc/hosts for nas, create the directory and modify /etc/fstab

nas:/NAS /nas nfs rw,suid 0 0

then mount the drive

You can share any file you want. CIFS/Samba client is built into the Windows OS. No additional software required.

Additional software is required for NFS connect.

CIFS Server is required for this setup on HP-UX

Client is useful but not required if Unix doesn't need access to Windows shares.

These shares can be managed and authenticated by a windows primary domain controller or an LDAP server. The currently tested CIFS based on Samba 3.0 is due shortly and will support integration with a Windows ADS environment.

Tell me how you want to do it and I or others can provide specific documentation.
