Well, yeah, but people usually equate the two (erroneously, as it were).

If you'd written the first SMB server for Unix (no, not Samba), you wouldn't confuse them. I'm talking about an SMB server with full file and print sharing written by Locus Computing Corp. for AT&T in the mid Eighties. We even made extensions to the SMB protocol for remote printer sharing administration and remote execution on the Unix host.


To bad that software seems to have disappeared from the face of the Earth. It was just about the best project I ever worked on in the corporate world.
