Yes, I believe that's what the original poster meant and no, the port is simply the standard samba server bits (smbd and nmbd). No one, to my knowledge, has yet done an actual smbfs for FreeBSD. Too bad, too, since it would be interesting to use them in 4.4L2's improved Heideman framework. -- - Jordan Hubbard FreeBSD core team / Walnut Creek CDROM.
