<para>The smb ioslave enables you to browse the shares of a &Windows; (or Samba) network. </para>
<para>To see the workgroups, enter <userinput><command>smb:/</command></userinput>. </para>
<para><userinput><command>smb:/</command><replaceable>a_workgroup</replaceable></userinput> will list the hosts in this workgroup. </para>
<para>To see the shares of a host, enter <userinput><command>smb://</command><replaceable>the_host</replaceable></userinput> or <userinput><command>smb:/</command><replaceable>a_workgroup</replaceable>/<replaceable>the_host</replaceable></userinput>. </para>
<para>To access a share directly enter <userinput><command>smb://</command><replaceable>the_host/the_share</replaceable></userinput> or <userinput><command>smb:/</command><replaceable>a_workgroup</replaceable>/<replaceable>the_host</replaceable>/<replaceable>the_share</replaceable></userinput> </para>
<para>The smb ioslave is a wrapper around the command line tool <command>smbclient</command>, which is part of the Samba package. This means you need to have Samba installed to use this ioslave. </para>
<para>To be able to authenticate to &Windows; <acronym>NT</acronym> Domain Controllers, you need at least Samba 2.0. To access the shares of &Windows; 2000 machines, you need at least Samba 2.0.7. To be able to write to Windows shares, you need at least Samba 2.2.4 or the patch from <ulink url="http://lisa-home.sourceforge.net/smbclientpatch.html">http://lisa-home.sourceforge.net/smbclientpatch.html</ulink>. </para>
<para>You can set your default user name and password in the &kcontrol; in <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Network</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Windows Shares</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. This is especially useful if you are a member of a &Windows; <acronym>NT</acronym> domain. There you can also set your workgroup name, but in most cases this is not required. </para>
<para>This ioslave is tested and developed using mainly Samba 2.0.7, but other versions of Samba should work too. </para>
