Subject: Re: Q.: Connect Fedora 2 with Windows
Am 15. Nov, 2004 schwätzte Dierk Seeburg so:

I don't see a final resolution to this. I also don't remember the original
question and don't feel like looking for it, so I might be answering the
wrong question :).

Check out LinNeighborhood. I've successfully used that the few times I've
needed to make smb connections.

I believe both Konqueror and Nautilus can handle smb shares. You'll like
Nautilus it has the spatial stuff from old macntoys :).

I also see xsmbrowser.

Can someone tell Dierk how to search for packages using yum? Something
like:

apt-cache search smb

A GUI interface might be better.

klisa - LAN information service similar to "Network Neighbourhood"
gnomba - GNOME Samba browser
gnosamba - A graphical configuration utility for Samba
komba2 - KDE Samba browser
smb2www - A Windows Network client that is accessible through a web
browser
smbc - samba-commander - curses based samba network browser
smbclient - a LanManager-like simple client for Unix
smbfs - mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than
2.2.x)
smbget - Downloader for the SMB/CIFS protocol
gnome-vfs-extras - Modules for accessing files from different sources with
gnome-vfs
lisa - LAN Information Server
smb4k - A Samba (SMB) share advanced browser for KDE

OK, so we have a plethora of choice. 2 or 2 plethoras, eigentlich.

I was unable to get gnomba or gnosamba working when I tried them.

I would suggest trying LinNeighborhood, (k)lisa, smb2www and one or both of the
KDE smb browsers.

Oh, and just as a reminder all of those can be available on your mac as
well ;-).

Write your own program:

libauthen-smb-perl - SMB authentication module for Perl

:)

AAAAAAHHHHH! Evil!

linpopup - Xwindow port of Winpopup, running over Samba

:(

/me washes his eyes out.

ciao,
