[Rule-list] Samba or smb client

[Richard Kweskin]

Hello All

Please correct me if necessary, but I think the smb client (separate from 
Samba) is enough for a linux box to access a shared directory on a windows 
box. Samba is a server to enable windows boxes to access shares on other 
boxes (linux, windows, etc.)
