Thanks to James Gosling tip described here, i am able now to share my Photos which are on my OpenSolaris laptop for the iMAC
From the laptop running Solaris, i simply share my photos directory via NFS. Go to System->Administration ->SharedFolders and add the folder you want to share.
Then you go to your Mac computer and do this two commands that James Gosling describes on his blog:
#ls /net/192.168.0.2/D/PHOTOS
#sudo ln -s /net/192.168.0.2 /D
And now you can browse your photos from the MAC with the Finder application.
This way, the iMac which is on the ground level of our house can see the photos which are on my OpenSolaris laptop on the first floor. Photos are going through the ethernet cables which were inserted when we buid our house nearly 10 years ago. Last week, i just add RJ45 connectors at the end of the cables, bought a D-Link switch and put that switch behind my Freebox.
Thanks James!
