The Linux/Samba client is also supported on iSeries NetServer™. This support allows a Linux client running Samba to connect to iSeries NetServer through the smbclient and smbmount client utilities. ASCII printing (text, PDF, and postscript) is supported through the smbclient utility.
The Linux requirement is a kernel version of 2.4.4 or greater
and Samba 3.0.9 or greater. Samba is an open-source client and file server
that is compatible with Microsoft Networking, which comes with many current
distributions of Linux. For more information on Samba, Samba commands, or
to download the latest version, see the Samba Web site (www.samba.org)
