[SunHELP] NFS - solaris and win2000

[Melinda Taylor]

Thanks for everyones help - I thought I would post my solution
in case anyone is interested in getting Solaris and Windows 2000
to share resources both way (windows to solaris and solaris to windows)

I decided samba was the best alternative (I tried a few NFS packages and
because NFS is inherently insecure decided against it). Obviously, as well
all know samba enables the windows machines to see all your UNIX disks but
it can also be used to view your windows 2000 disks on Solaris as it
is embedded in TCP/Ip in windows.

While the linux version of samba comes with the program smbmount
to let you mount windows 2000 disks in LINUX the solaris version
does not. However if you download the program Sharity it enables
you to mount the windows disks in Solaris 

It was all very easy to configure as well!
