 > The problem seems to be accessing stuff on other boxes from 64 Studio.

 After about 3 hours of fiddling around, endless config changes and banging
 my head off the wall, I have got this working on 1.4.x :)

 I'm still have some permissions issues, but I have been able to use 64
 studio to copy some files from a windows laptop on the 64Studio box.

 I think the root of the problem is a missing package.  From Etch
 repository, I installed "smbfs".

 Before installing this, I couldn't get the mount command to work from a
 terminal.  With wild errors like this:

 {{{
 tux at 64studio:~$  sudo mount -t cifs -o
 username=foo,password=bar,workgroup=MSHOME,gid=smb,uid=$USER,fmask=770,dmask=770,rw
 //thinkpad/c /mnt/samba/
 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //thinkpad/c,
        missing codepage or other error
 }}}

 dmesg message log contains
 {{{
 smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported
 }}}

 after installing smbfs, I can see the share called C at the network
 location thinkpad

 {{{

 tux at 64studio:~$  sudo mount -t cifs -o
 username=foo,password=bar,workgroup=MSHOME //thinkpad/c /mnt/samba/
 tux at 64studio:~$ ls /mnt/samba/LOGFILE.txt /mnt/samba/LOGFILE.txt
 tux at 64studio:~$ cp /mnt/samba/LOGFILE.txt /home/tux/Desktop/
 tux at 64studio:~$ ls /home/tux/Desktop/LOGFILE.txt
 /home/tux/Desktop/LOGFILE.txt

 }}}

 hope this is of help

 best wishes everyone

 steve~
