 106         <para>Any dynamically linked command you execute from
 107         this shell will access the <filename>/smb</filename> directory
 108         using the smb protocol. For example, the command <command>ls /smb
 109         </command> will show a list of workgroups. The command
 110         <command>ls /smb/MYGROUP </command> will show all the machines in
 111         the  workgroup MYGROUP. The command
 112         <command>ls /smb/MYGROUP/&lt;machine-name&gt;</command> will show the share
 113         names for that machine. You could then, for example, use the <command>
 114         cd</command> command to change directories, <command>vi</command> to
 115         edit files, and <command>rcp</command>  to copy files.</para>

 127         <para><command>smbsh</command> works by intercepting the standard
 128         libc calls with the dynamically loaded versions in <filename>
 129         smbwrapper.o</filename>. Not all calls have been "wrapped", so
 130         some programs may not function correctly under <command>smbsh
 131         </command>.</para>
 132
 133         <para>Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make
 134         use of <command>smbsh</command>'s functionality. Most versions
 135         of UNIX have a <command>file</command> command that will
 136         describe how a program was linked.</para>
