The full samba installation ('samba' package) including the smbd and
nmbd daemons is only necessary for operation as a Samba server i.e. if
the computer hosts shares or if it participates in a Windows domain.
To access shares elsewhere, only Samba clients are needed. The smbclient
client package is command-line, but useful in learning options,
cifs-utils is used to mount remote SMB/CIFS shares into the local
filesystem, and various other samba utilities exist. Nautilus file
manager and Konqueror web browser can both browse remote SMB shares.
