Hi Martin, > I would have had to enabled nfs client if using > mount_smbfs, correct? Nopes - stick to using the mount command. Depending on the filesystem you specify (with the -t option), it will call the relevant mount command itself (eg. mount_smbfs, mount_nfs). > When I built the system in question, I did not enable > nfs capabilities and don't really want to if I can avoid doing > so.

Although installing samba will give you smbclient and a load of other things, if you don't need them I wouldn't install it. From what you've previously explained, everything can be done with the (already supplied) mount command. Steve :)
