How to access WINDOWS FILE SERVERS (SMB) from Athena

You can, as of Athena release 9.3, access your SMB file server from Athena
workstations. Samba 3.0.2a has been added to this release. This allows
access to Windows file shares from Athena workstations with an interface
similar to ftp using smbclient.  For Kerberos authentication, add the -k
flag. To list the shares on a host:

          athena% smbclient -k -L hostname

Connect to a share on that host:

          athena% smbclient -k //hostname/sharename
