actually, I think it was recently added to the webster's dictionary. I seem to recall a news story or a /. story
about google being put into the dictionary as the act of looking something up in the search engine.

George,
     When did 'google' become a verb? I'm not objecting to your use - I say it, too. I'm just not sure when we started verbing that noun.

"Included with" and "part of" aren't the same thing. That's why the samba team dumped smbclient from the samba package! (but put it back when too many people moaned.)
 
By the way - "smb" is an IBM acronym for "Server Message Block" so even the fact that the names are similar is no evidence that they are part and parcel of the same thing. They just happen to have the same ancestor way back, like a load of your cousins share the same surname as you ...
 
Cheers,
Wol

Actualy smbclient is part of samba and works quite nicely in reading and writing to windows shares.  smbmount is only available on linux samba installs. If someone would like a couple UVBasic programs to "put" and "get" via smbclient I'd be glad to send them along.

If you want to use a unix *client* to access a Windows server, you need smbmount and friends, which are not not not samba. If you want to what you suggest, using samba, you need to get the pcs to save directly into a nix directory which samba has exported to the network, rather than getting a nix box to monitor a windows directory.
