Things look quiet here. But I've been doing a lot of blogging at
dan.langille.org because I prefer WordPress now.
Not all my posts there are FreeBSD related.
I am in the midst of migrating The FreeBSD Diary over to WordPress
(and you can read about that here).
Once the migration is completed, I'll move the FreeBSD posts into the
new FreeBSD Diary website.
Sharity-Light - connecting Microsoft to FreeBSD3 November 1998
The Sharity-Light files are installed in /usr/local/sbin.
Sharing an MS File system
This section deals with sharing an MS file system. I've done this from within
Windows NT. But the process for Windows 95/98 should be similar. In this
example, I'll be sharing c:\temp and allowing only the user Barny to
access it. The following steps are performed on the MS system.
start Windows NT explorer
right click on c:\temp
click on Sharing
click on Shared As
click on Permissions
click on Remove to remove Everyone's access
click on Add
click on Show Users
click on the user you wish to add (in my example, I clicked on Barny)
click on Add
select the Type of Access you wish to provide. I choose Read.
click on OK
click on OK
click on OK
This should now allow the directory to be shared. The next section describes how
to access this share from FreeBSD.
Accessing an MS file system
In the previous section, we published, or created, a share. In this section, we
will access that share from our FreeBSD box. The NT box from which we issued that
share is named NT1. So we will mount that share under /nt1.
You will find that dates and times are not correct on the files from NT4 file systems.
For more information, please refer to the documentation mentioned in the previous
section.
