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 <$ND> 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
