There is a beta client at ftp://ftp.butya.kz/pub/smbfs/ by Boris Popov. Still in development but it does the job. This is the command you run once you install the package. mount -t smbfs //user@machine/share /mountpoint Another option is sharity-light which you can install straight from the ports collection. I recently ran into a problem with the smbfs package. When the computer with the shared drive was shutdown, the share did not automatically reconnect. My only option was shutting down my computer to be able to remount the share. Sharity-light did this automatically. You might find it more to your liking. Then again, sharity-light was not perfect either. I was getting some strange errors, although as a credit to it, the errors were not affecting operation as opposed to SMBFS. As long as the shared drive isn't shut down SMBFS works like a charm... Sharity-light might have been fixed... No perfect solutions here... But a few options. :) F.
