+Smbfs is a filesystem that implements the SMB protocol, which is the
+protocol used by Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 and Windows NT.
+Smbfs was inspired by Samba, the program written by Andrew Tridgell
+that turns any Unix host into a file server for DOS or Windows clients.
+
+Smbfs is a SMB client, but uses parts of samba for it's operation. For
+more info on samba, including documentation, please go to
+http://www.samba.org/ and then on to your nearest mirror.
