1.4 Connect with a UNIX Client

Enter the following command:

 $ smbclient //yourhostname/aservice 

Typically yourhostname is the name of the host on which smbd has been installed. The aservice is any service that has been defined in the smb.conf file. Try your user name if you just have a [ homes ] section in the smb.conf file.

Example: If the UNIX host is called bambi and a valid login name is fred , you would type:

 $ smbclient //bambi/fred
