+:h1.Introduction
+:p.
+Samba is a SMB/CIFS protocols file and print sharing server/client set originaly
+made for UNIX world to cooperate with corresponding Windows and &os. servers or
+clients. &os. has a native implementation of SMB/CIFS server/client set - IBM LAN
+Manager and IBM Peer. These products haven&csq.t been updated for a long time and
+have some compatibility problems with modern Windows SMB/CIFS implementations.
+:p.
+This package is the &os. port of Samba client made as the plugin to &nd.
+ - a well known virtual file system for &os.. &os. Samba client provides
+seamles access to SMB/CIFS file shares over your network using TCP/IP as the
+underlying transport protocol.
+:p.
+The &os. Samba client consists of two modules&colon.
+:ul.
+:li.ndpsmb.dll - the NetDrive plugin itself.
+:li.smbcd.exe  - the Samba client daemon, which actually processes the requests from ndpsmb.dll. (not used anymore since v 1.5.0)

+:h2 res=101.&usage.
+:p.
+To mount the exact server&csq.s share one need to specify both &csq.server&csq. and
+&csq.share&csq. parametres, the other parametres are optional. The root path of
+server&csq.s share will be mounted to the mounting path.
+:p.
+If one want to access all server shares, then only the &csq.server&csq., not the &csq.share&csq.
+parameter, should be specified,the other parametres are optional. The list of
+server shares will be mounted to the mounting path.
+:p.
+If one want to access all servers within the workgroup, then only the &csq.workgroup&csq.,
+not the &csq.server&csq. parameter, should be specified, the other parametres are
+optional. The list of servers within the specified workgroup will be mounted to
+the mounting path.
+:p.
+If one want to access all available workgroups within one master browser
+within the network, then only the &csq.master&csq., not the &csq.workgroup&csq. nor the &csq.server&csq. parameter,
+should be specified, the other parameters are optional. The list of workgroups
+will be mounted to the mounting path. The &csq.master&csq. workgroup can be any known
+workgroup in the net. The &csq.master&csq. server should be the master browser for
+workgroup[s].
+:p.
+By default the &csq.guest&csq. user with blank password is used to access selected
+resources. If you get access denied errors, try to specify another user and
+password combination.

+To produce a logfile please add an empty file called ndpsmb.dbg into the root drive.
