Samba = smb for non-windows. The advantage of osx is that you can
turn smb off and on when needed.
Be careful here when referring to Samba and SMB on Mac OS X. There are
two parts to the equation....
1) "Samba" is the "server" to "provide SMB/CIFS services to clients"
- Process running on the machine is "smbd"
- This provides Windows File Sharing Services on Mac OS X Client and
Server
Located: /usr/sbin/smbd
Process: smbd
Man Page: man smbd
Version: Version 3.0.25b-apple ($ smbd -V)
2) "smbfs" is the "client" to "mount a shared resource from an SMB
file Server"
Located: /System/Library/Filesystems/smbfs.fs
Process: mount_smbfs
Man Page: man mount_smbfs
