Newbie - Using Samba client

[Richard Quintin]

I want to
a. Access "network neighborhood" shares
b. Not share anything on my machine
c. Not open any security holes

I've tried to muddle through without much luck. What specifically do I
need to do?

You need the smbclient package. If you want to mount windows shares,
install the smbfs package. There is also a package called
linneighborhood that provides a GUI. As far as I know KDE's file
manager and browser konqueror can also be used for this somehow.

Read the Samba Howto for more info:
