Subject: Heads up - CIFS Client for Solaris
The putback of
PSARC 2005/695 CIFS Client on Solaris
PSARC 2007/303 pam_smb_login
PSARC 2008/073 CIFS Client on Solaris - Updates
6651904 CIFS Client
delivers a standard Solaris virtual file system which implements
a CIFS client, providing access to files and directories on CIFS
servers such as Microsoft Windows and Samba servers.
The Solaris CIFS client provides the ability for normal users to
mount remote CIFS server shares on a Solaris system, thereby
allowing ordinary Solaris applications to access CIFS files.
Information about the CIFS Client project, including documentation
and man pages can be found at
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/smbfs/
You may discuss any details of the project by sending mail to our
OpenSolaris discussion alias:
smbfs-discuss at opensolaris dot org
Bugs can be filed at the solaris/network/smbfs bugster category.
Using the CIFS client
----------------------
To view the shares on a CIFS server named samba3, try this:
% smbutil view -A //samba3
Share Type Comment
-------------------------------
netlogon disk Network Logon Service
ipc$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server)
tmp disk Temporary file space
public disk Public Stuff
4 shares listed from 4 available
Mounting a share can be done without privilege if you own
the directory to be mounted on. You will need to supply
a login name and password the CIFS server accepts, which
will not generally be related to your Unix identity:
% mount -F smbfs //joe@samba3/tmp /home/joe/mnt
Password:
% df /home/joe/mnt
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
//joe@samba/tmp 1977360 6136 1971224 1% /home/joe/tmp
