View Available Shares on Windows Server

Hello,
Is there an application available to view what shares are currently
available on a known Windows Server (new view equivalent) for QNX 4.25.
It would be beneficial to me to know this information for our custom QNX
installation scripts.
Depending on where the system is to be shipped depends upon what share
is to be mounted (differing version of apps / scripts are installed).
It would be nice to offer the person performing the install a list of
know and valid shares, rather than them keeping an up to date list with
them ( which will never happen =) ).

Thank you,
Len.

I think you can use smbfsys Similar to fs-cifs in Qnx 6.x

I use SMBfsys to perform the actual server mount on the QNX box, but

for that the name of the Server, and Share must be given. Below are the
commands used to mount the Server/Share:

SMBfsys -r5 -d10 -o &
user_smb -s SERVER -u qnx_user svr_user svr_pass
mount_smb -u qnx_user -mn -s //SERVER/SHARE /local_dir svr_user svr_pass

I am looking for a way to get a list of all available shares a Server
is currently sharing. So I may offer this as a list to a user who may
then decide which Share they require to use (so the correct version of
apps/scripts is installed on the QNX box).

By the way does the -r [Number of seconds waiting for a server response
before assuming that the server is down (default:30)] have any effect.
We set this to 5, but when the network is disconnected and we try to
list the server directory, there is no response for 30 seconds (the
default). I was just wondering if we are doing anything incorrect, or if
this is a bug.

Try smbclient - I think it’s part of samba.
smbclient -L
