OSX mounting on UNIX BOX

[matto]

Can any one tell me how I can share on OSX drive or director on an SGI UNIX box I've been playing around with SAMBA but with no luck

First of all you don't want to use samba, you want to use the unix filesharing protocol NFS.

go find NFSmanager, you'll use this a gui front end to NetInfo to set up the sharepoint on the mac:
go here: http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=9301&db=mac

now on the siggie try this:
>mount -F nfs rw mac_ip_address:/mac_share /sgi_mountpoint

there is a space between mac_share and /sgi_mountpoint
the sgi_mountpoint is the place in the sgi's directory structure where you want the mac share mounted.
-F indicates filesystem type, nfs in this case
rw indicates you want to mount it read/write.

lookup the man page for the mount command on sggi for the gorey details. Above is true for solaris, don't know how similar sggi is.
good luck
