Revised to match the versions accepted so far: Description: command line SMB/CIFS clients for Unix Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems, providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems. . This package contains command line utilities for accessing Microsoft Windows (or Samba) servers, including smbclient, smbtar, and smbspool. Utilities for mounting shares locally are in the package smbfs. -- JBR Ankh kak! (Ancient Egyptian blessing) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
