====== Samba ======

See also: [[Software]]

Samba (or CIFS) allows you to connect to a Windows share, if it's the client, or act like a windows server (share) if it's the server.

=== Client ===

On a linux system, you can create a file called ''~/.smbmount'' (in your home directory).  This file should contain your "windows" username and password in the following format:
<file>
username=tim
password=somewhat_secure_password
</file>

Of course, you can always enter your username / password at the command line.
