No, i mean rumba. The relation between the names is certainly not an incident. j@uriah 160% cat /usr/ports/net/rumba/pkg/DESCR It is part of author's Announcment: This is the first public release of rumba. If you want a short description of what rumba can do for you: you can mount volumes exported by Windows or related operating systems on your Unix machine. For a more detailed description I will quote from the README file: What does rumba do? =================== If you know smbfs for Linux: rumba is roughly the same. It is derived from smbfs, but runs as a user level program, not in the kernel. If you know samba: rumba is roughly the opposite: a client for the Lanmanager protocol. If you know neither of these: rumba lets you mount drives exported by Windows (f.Workgroups/95/NT), Lan Manager, OS/2 etc. on Unix machines. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
