    Try the program LinNeighborhood,
    Using this you can view or mount windows share on Linux/AIX.

    For some reason only Linux can mount windows share using Samba.

    AIX 5.2 does come with CIFS filesystem which lets you mount windows shares
    I've read. I have not done so though.

    Out of interest, can Windows share directories only be accessed on AIX using
    the smbclient command, or can they simply be mounted like NFS drives and
    accessed by standard AIX commands?

    Hi:
    If you want to share folders between Unix and Windows, you can run a samba
    server on the Unix side and access the shares from Windows, another way is
    to use samba clients from Unix to access shares from Windows side.

    It depends on what you need.
    Regards

    Ignacio

    Asunto: Simple samba question
    Samba runs as a server on a Unix system and allows Windows to connect to it
    as clients. Am I correct?

    Someone wants me to run samba on Win2000 as a server, with a AIX box acting
    as a client. Is this possible, or desirable? Ther requirement is to share a
    directory between the AIX and Win2000 box.
