+>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>
