+ <para>This tool<footnote>
+ <para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing
+ <emphasis role="bold">diskdrake --smb</emphasis> as root.</para>
+ </footnote> allows you to declare which shared directories to be
+ accessible to all users on the machine. The protocol used for this is SMB
+ which has been popularized on Windows(R) systems. The shared directory
+ will be available directly at boot. Shared directories can be also
+ accessed directly in a single session by a user with tools such as file
+ browsers.</para>
+
+ <para>Before starting the tool, it is a good idea to declare the names of
+ available servers, for example with <xref linkend="drakhosts"/></para>

+ <title>Procedure</title>
+
+ <para>Select <guibutton>search servers</guibutton> to obtain a list of
+ servers who share directories.</para>
+
+ <para>Click on the server name and on &gt; before the server name to
+ display the list of the shared directories and select the directory you
+ want to access.</para>
+
+ <para>The <guibutton>Mount point</guibutton> button will become available,
+ you have to specify where to mount the directory.</para>

+
+ <para>After choosing the mount point, it can be mounted with the
+ <guimenu>Mount button</guimenu>. You can also verify and change some
+ options with the <guibutton>Options</guibutton> button.</para>
+
+ <para>In options, you can specify the user name and the password of those
+ able to connect to the SMB server. After mounting the directory, you can
+ unmount it with the same button.</para>

+ <para>After accepting the configuration with the Done button, a message
+ will ask "Do you want to save the /etc/fstab modifications". Saving, will
+ allow directory to made available at each boot, if the network is
+ accessible. The new directory is then available in your file browser, for
+ example in dolphin.</para>
