|
|
Hello,
is there some way how can I browse all Samba shares on local network like in "Network Neighborhood" in Windows? Yes, I know I can do it in KDE (in Konqueror) or GNOME (in Nautilus). And I know there is LinNeighborhood and xfsamba. But is there some console based application? I want be able to browse local network for Samba shares even without started X server (for example through SSH connection). _________________ o Athlon-XP 2600+ (512kB cache), 512MB DDR400 RAM, GeForce FX-5600 128MB

This is in "man xterm":
Code: | /#smb:[user@]machine[/service][/remote-dir] |
So "machine" is mandatory argument. But I dont't want to specify machine name, I want to browse through whole local network and see every share on it from every machine. This is what LinNeighborhood (and all other programs I have mentioned above) do. But I want be able to do it also in console...
Or can Midnight Commander do it? _________________ o Athlon-XP 2600+ (512kB cache), 512MB DDR400 RAM, GeForce FX-5600 128MB

No, it can browse shares on a single computer, not network, AFAIK. Never missed browsing network Windows-style anyway. Slow, buggy and useless most of the time. |

But someone want to know who on the network is sharing something...
There are many GUI programs which can do that, but no console program? I can't believe it _________________ o Athlon-XP 2600+ (512kB cache), 512MB DDR400 RAM, GeForce FX-5600 128MB

I am new to this myself but... have you looked at the nmblookup program (comes with samba ebuild)? Sounds like what you were talking about... try the -S flag |
