[snip]
smbfs and samba are two different (but related) things (and are typically merged in
most people's minds). smbfs is the smb filesystem that linux/unix/whatever needs in
order to mount smb shares exported from other hosts. Samba is a pair of daemons (smbd
and nmbd) that provide a non-windoze host with the ability to export smb shares to
other hosts on the network. Samba also does browse-master, domain logins, some domain
control stuff, smb print services, etc. I believe you are right about smbfs honoring
the 'conv=' stuff, however, you didn't say "smbfs" you said "samba" (so I had to chime
in ;)
