Mount a LAN Samba share - Help

[velcrow]

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

Thanks thejew,

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?
