- smbfs is a filesystem which understands the SMB protocol. This is the
- protocol Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or Lan Manager use to talk
- to each other. smbfs was inspired by samba, the program written by
- Andrew Tridgell that turns any unix host into a file server for DOS or
- Windows clients. See ftp://nimbus.anu.edu.au/pub/tridge/samba/ for
- this interesting program suite and lots of more information on SMB and
- NetBIOS over TCP/IP. There you also find explanation for concepts like
- netbios name or share.
-
- To use smbfs, you need a special mount program, which can be found in
- the ksmbfs package, found on
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/smbfs.
