17:h1.Introduction
18:p.
19Samba is a SMB/CIFS protocols file and print sharing server/client suite originaly
20made for the UNIX world to cooperate with corresponding Windows and &os. servers or
21clients. &os. has a native implementation of SMB/CIFS server/client set - IBM LAN
22Manager and IBM Peer. These products haven&csq.t been updated for a long time and
23have some compatibility problems with modern Windows SMB/CIFS implementations.
24:p.
25This package is the &os. port of Samba client made as the plugin for&colon.
26:ul.
27:li.&nd. - a well known virtual file system for &os.
28:li.EVFS - the eComStation Virtual Filesystem for SMB
29:eul.:p.
30&os. Samba client provides seamless access to SMB/CIFS file shares over your network using TCP/IP as the
31underlying transport protocol.
32:p.
33The &os. Samba client consists of one module&colon.
34:ul.
35:li.ndpsmb.dll - the NetDrive plugin itself
36:eul.:p.
37Releases prior to version 1.5.0 had a second module which is now deprecated&colon.
38:ul.
39:li.smbcd.exe - the Samba client daemon, which actually processes the requests from ndpsmb.dll
40:eul.

100:p.
101To mount the exact server&csq.s share one need to specify both &csq.server&csq. and
102&csq.share&csq. parameters, the other parameters are optional. The root path of
103server&csq.s share will be mounted to the mounting path.
104:p.
105If one want to access all server shares, then only the &csq.server&csq., not the &csq.share&csq.
106parameter, should be specified,the other parameters are optional. The list of
107server shares will be mounted to the mounting path.
108:p.
109If one want to access all servers within the workgroup, then only the &csq.workgroup&csq.,
110not the &csq.server&csq. parameter, should be specified, the other parameters are
111optional. The list of servers within the specified workgroup will be mounted to
112the mounting path.
113:p.
114If one want to access all available workgroups within one master browser
115within the network, then only the &csq.master&csq., not the &csq.workgroup&csq. nor the &csq.server&csq. parameter,
116should be specified, the other parameters are optional. The list of workgroups
117will be mounted to the mounting path. The &csq.master&csq. workgroup can be any known
118workgroup in the net. The &csq.master&csq. server should be the master browser for
119workgroup[s].
120:p.
121By default the &csq.guest&csq. user with blank password is used to access selected
122resources. If you get access denied errors, try to specify another user and
