Or you can use a (freeware) program called Samba on your Unix machines that
lets NT see UNIX drives as if they were local or mapped Windows network
drives. Check out WWW.SAMBA.ORG for more specifics and access to the
source code.

Note that this process will only work as described if your server is an NT
machine, and your client is Windows-based. If your server uses another
operating system (Unix, MVS, etc.), you will need additional software that
allows directories on the server to be viewed directly from the client as if
they were network drives. We've been testing a package here called NFS
Maestro from Hummingbird on a Unix server.

Here are the steps for net work mapping on the NT server:
On your desk top there is an icon "MY COMPUTER"
Right click on it, and select "Map Network drive"
Three text boxes appear appear.
The first one labeled "DRIVE" . It automatically filled by a letter
such as "F", or "G",
depending on what is available. Looking from the client side, it is
like another drive
on the client machine.
The second text box asks for the path :
It gets filled automatically when you select a drive from the shared
directories list which appears below.
These are the directories on the server . You scroll down and find
the directory you want from the server, and
click on it . When once you selected the directory and clicked OK
, the mapping is done.
I got this by talking to the NT wizards here. But, I am also
interested in a windows NT book. May be someone
on the list can suggest a good book.
