Hi!
I put a new version (0.4) of smbfs on sunsite.unc.edu. With smbfs you can mount
shares exported by Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT, samba (you should use nfs
in this case!). Windows for Workgroups has to run TCP/IP to be a server for
linux.
The major changes in this release are compatibility with latest kernels and
Windows NT. Smbfs is still to be considered alpha software, because it's not
very friendly to you when the server crashes or other exceptions occur. But when
everything around smbfs runs well, it is quite stable, although not too fast.
