The Samba suite is a set of programs which run under Unix-like
operating systems. These programs deliver most of the important
functionality of a Microsoft Lan Manager server. That is, they support
remote access to Un*x filespace and Un*x printers from Lan Manager
compatible clients. In practical terms, this means that such clients
can connect to and use FreeBSD filespace as if it was a local disk drive,
or FreeBSD printers as if they were local printers.

Some of the most popular Lan Manager compatible clients include Lan
Manager itself, Windows for Workgroups, OS/2 and Windows NT.

Please note that if you want to use Windows NT 4.0 + Service Pack 3
or above as clients, you have to use -des version of samba ports.
-des version is not redistributable as a binary package because of 
the export control of US.  Please type make install at net/samba-des 
in ports collection.
