+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. The kioslave will ask for your username and password if a default is not set.

+This ioslave is tested and developed using mainly Samba 2.0.7, but other
+versions of Samba should work too.
