RE: How can I see the AS/400 from my Linux box?

["Goodbar, Loyd (AFS-Water Valley)" <LGoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to have the Samba package installed. You would use smbclient and
smbmount to view / mount SMB shares.

I used
smbclient '//wvas400/qdls' -U goodbar

and was able to see directories and files with a FTP-type interface.

Can you see something with smbclient?

If you do something like
smbclient -L wvas400 -U goodbar

do you see a list of shares?

I have not tried using smbmount to mount a share. (Haven't needed this yet.)

One issue I had was in our situation, we have our "old" system name WVAS400,
and the "new" (CAE/OpsNav) name QWVAS400. I can only use smbclient with the
old name WVAS400. We're on V4R3, I can't imagine any problems using V3R7.

I was asked this question today.  Any answers for him?

"We're running V3R7, and have some file systems shared out so that they can 
be mapped by Windows machines as drives (currently done by running IBM's 
Client Access to make a connection to the machine, then the usual Win9x/NT 
'Map a Network Drive' to QDLS)

I'm trying to do the same thing on a linux box, but am not sure how to 
mount the drive - ie. I'm not sure if these are being shared via NFS, SMB, 
etc. Is there any way to tell how these are being shared, and how I might 
access using Linux's mount, nfsmount, smbmount, etc?"
