Hi,

NCP is Novells proprietory protocol for accessing its servers,
it covers file access, printing, admin etc.

SMB is Microsoft's equivilent which I don't know much about; however
the Plan9 to-do list on the wiki has comments about possible sources
of an SMB/CIFS clients and a server.

-Steve

PS. part of the confusion may be due to the Netware "shell" (TSR)
used under MSDOS provides a NetBios client as well as a Novell one.

What about SMB? I don't know much about NCP, but
have the impression that it is by large equivalent to SMB. I need to
use SMB shares (served by samba) from Plan9 (don't ask), and I'm
currently using u9fs and linux to do this. I'm very interested in testing
if it supports SMB. If it doesn't support SMB but you feel that building
smbfs based on your ncpfs wouldn't be too much work, I'm still
interested.
