The FreBSD provided tools for mounting non-native filesystems don't seem to be the adivsed choice. Just as mount_ntfs has been removed from the OS and its functionality transitioned to FUSE, access to CIFS shares should probably be done with FUSE, too. Luckily, there's SMBNetFS (sysutils/fusefs-smbnetfs), which looks like the natural replacement. See: https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/fusefs-smbnetfs/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/smbnetfs/ Unlike mount_smbfs, it supports the recent versions of Samba. I wouldn't be surprised if one day /usr/sbin/mount_smbfs would no longer be present after a regular FreeBSD install... ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
