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. + |
