1Smbfs is a filesystem that implements the SMB protocol, which is the 2protocol used by Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 and Windows NT. 3Smbfs was inspired by Samba, the program written by Andrew Tridgell 4that turns any Unix host into a file server for DOS or Windows clients. 5 6Smbfs is a SMB client, but uses parts of samba for it's operation.
