Hi.

I'd like to have something like "network neighborhood" on my system and i don't know what to look for.

All i need is to have a directory "/samba" with listed shared resources and posibility to browse the "smb:/".

Is there any solution that meets my expectation?

Regards,
Taopai

There are tools like "smb4k" and "smbc" and Konqueror ca browse smb.

While mentioning konqueror, wehn using KDE you can use "lisa" for resolving other shares in the network.

Hi, i know about smb4k and lisa, but it's not what i'm looking for - iirc they don't offer automounting of new shares, you have to do it manually. Also, instead of smbc, i can use midnight commander to browse samba network.

Anyway, thanks for reply

Regards,
Taopai

You should try and emerge fusesmb:

net-fs/fusesmb
Available versions: (~)0.8.5
Homepage: http://www.ricardis.tudelft.nl/~vincent/fusesmb/
Description: Instead of mounting one Samba share at a time, you mount all workgroups, hosts and shares at once.

Fusesmb looks interesting on the surface but it claims to use smbmount which uses smbfs, an out-of-date, no longer supported, deprecated kernel module as opposed to the newer cifs module. Smbfs has problems, especially with directories and files >2GB.
