Not true. You can use Linux as a client to a Linux Samba server--as a
matter of fact, that is how they suggest you test your samba installation:
[root@host1 /root]# mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxx,password=xxxx
//hostdev/share /mnt/share
params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file:
passwd:
*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
[root@host1 /root]# df -h /mnt/wsdopres
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
//hostdev/share 1.0G 417M 610M 41% /mnt/share
[root@host1 /root]#
(some details have been changed to protect the hostname, username, and
passwords of this particular server(s))
Also using smbclient to a Linux server from a Linux client:
user@host1 ~ $ smbclient -U user -L hostdev
'params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file:
passwd
:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
added interface ip=xxx.xx.xx.xxx bcast=xxx.xx.xx.xxx nmask=xxx.xxx.xxx.0

Samba is of course not the preferred way to share folders between linux
machines, nfs is. I won't go into any detail as to how to set that up
unless you really want to open up the proverbial can of worms.
Civilme or Vincent -- Know who is maintaining the docs on Mandrake User? I
think it may be time for an update to the SAMBA ones (especially the one
mentioned in this post).
