Yes they are the same.  My goal is to make my computer act the same under
WinNT and Linux/Samba as far as file/print/NAT goes.  I did get file/print
working under NT.  I was in Linux and used smbclient to access the same
NT server/share name.

When my regular computer is running NT, the share is visible to 9$.  When
that same computer runs Linux/Samba, it is not visible.  Yet I can access
that share from my NT box at work.
