17:h1.Introduction
18:p.
19Samba is an SMB/CIFS protocol file and print sharing client/server suite originally
20created for the UNIX world in order to access Windows and &os. servers and
21clients. &os. has several native implementations of SMB/CIFS client/server set - :hp1.IBM Peer:ehp1. (or :hp1.IBM LAN Requester:ehp1.,
22or :hp1.IBM File and Print Client:ehp1.) and :hp1.IBM LAN Manager:ehp1.. 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 the Samba client implemented as a 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.
30The Samba Client Plugin for &os. provides seamless access to SMB/CIFS file shares over the network using pure TCP/IP as the
31underlying transport protocol (no NetBIOS or NetBIOS over TCP/IP).
32:p.
33The Samba Client Plugin for &os. 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
40:eul.
