I recently acquired an iMac at my work. Since I’m the only one in the office using an iMac I get no support. But then, I’m also the only one doing Rails work so I figure I’m ahead of the curve ;)

I have several Linux machines used for development. On said Linux machines I’ve setup Samba shares through which I’ve mounted directories on my Windows box, making file sharing between my Winders and Linux machines a breeze.

But how do I setup something like that on my Mac?

Is there a smbmount for Mac? I tried to do a “port install smbmount” but no package was found.

Any help is appreciated….

Are you simply trying to mount a remote drive? If so, it’s as easy as going to the finder and hitting command-K. Then put in smb://whatever.
