Samba
The Samba, or SMB, protocol is very useful because it is used by Microsoft Windows NT,
Windows 95/98, Windows 2000 and Window XP to share disks and printers. So as Unix
(including Linux) can also handle this protocol with the Samba suite tools, it is possible to share
disks and printers with Windows hosts.
So it is possible on the Thin Client to mount SMB shares from Windows or Unix Samba hosts.
The SMB (Server Message Block) protocol is only used for sharing files over the network (no
printers). It is necessary that the shares you want to mount be created on the Windows or Unix
host first!
