&Alexander.Neundorf; &Alexander.Neundorf.mail; The smb ioslave enables you to browse the shares of a &Windows; (or Samba) network. To see the workgroups, enter smb:/. smb://a_workgroup will list the hosts in this workgroup. To see the shares of a host, enter smb://the_host or smb:/a_workgroup/the_host. To access a share directly enter smb://the_host/the_share or smb:/a_workgroup/the_host/the_share The smb ioslave requires that you have libsmbclient to use this ioslave. You can set your default user name and password in the &kcontrol; in NetworkWindows Shares. This is especially useful if you are a member of a &Windows; NT 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. Author: Alexander Neundorf neundorf@kde.org
