Make sure you have samba-common and samba-client on the client box. If
you are not using the client box to share, you shouldn't need
samba-server. (RH/FC vernacular, YMMV)

I have a linux/samba box which is exporting smb shares to windows boxes.
The same linux box can smbfs mount shared

instance I can export smb shares and mount smb shares on a linux box).
This may be an unnatural act, but I tried to use another linux box
(which doesn't have samba installed, but has the smbfs module loaded) to
smbfs mount the smb exports from the linux/samba box. I get something like
"cannot access /etc/samba/smb.conf"
and the mount fails.
I don't have another windows box available with me to test if I can
export files from it to the linux box which doesn't have samba installed
(I can get one at home tonight).
Do I need samba as well as the smbfs module to mount
exports from a samba box, or is the mount failing for other reasons?
Thanks Joe
