You could also install SAMBA on your unix machine(s). &nbsp;This would allow them to create and mount Microsoft networking &quot;shares&quot;. &nbsp;Most people prefer NFS, but I thought I'd mention other options.

Depends on what you are trying to do with the Unix file system from NT. If it's to access a database on the Unix system from an NT network for example, you probably want to use SAMBA. It's locking mechanism (via SMB) is much more robust than NFS and can support simultanous access from mulitple users on an NT network. If it's only to share files, then NFS or MS SFU will provide enough services. Although MS SFU and most NFS software packages are not free, whereas SAMBA is...<br />

Hi,

Is it possible to mount a Unix file system onto Windows NT server and vice versa?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
