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.

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.
