Can Linux Access SMB File Systems?

Can Linux Access SMB File Systems?

Linux supports read/write access of Windows for Workgroups and Windows
NT SMB volumes. See the file Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt of
the Linux kernel source distribution, and ("How To Upgrade/Recompile a
Kernel.")

There is also a suite of programs called Samba which provide support
for WfW networked file systems (provided they're for TCP/IP).
Information is available in the README file at
metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/samba/.

The SMB Web site is http://www.samba.org/, and there is also a Web
site at samba.anu.edu.au/samba/.
