    Mount a LAN Samba share - Help

    Hi All,

    I have a NAS device on my LAN (MyBook World Edition) - it is connected to the router by ethernet and has folders shared using samba.

    What I would like to do is mount these shares using busybox.

    Is this possible and how can I do it - In Ubuntu I just use "smbmount" but this command is not available on busybox.

    Thanks in advance

    yes its possible!
    Install oleg firmware if you havent allready.

    Download this file http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=49867&postcount=2
    save it somewhere on your router.
    connect to your router with your favorite ssh client and do a:
    insmod smbfs.o
    check if it loaded correctly with:
    lsmod
    install samba3 it includes smbmount
    ipkg install samba

    then smbmount should work like you are used to with ubuntu

    hope i could help ya

    If I install samba3 will that mean smbmount by default - e.g. no need to load this module in on post-boot?

    Thanks -

    That is exactly what I am trying to do ( and I was enjoying using midnight commander again )

    Can you recommend a package that I could use to sync the files in both folders automatically?
