<title>Introduction</title>
<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>
</section>
<section>
<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 > 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>
