do you still have smbfs/smbclient installed?

Yeah, I do, but if I remove that half my installation goes with it.

Odd...
sudo apt-get -s remove smbfs smbclient
[sudo] password for joe:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
libdns32 libxalan110 libxerces27
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
smbclient smbfs
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Remv smbclient [3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4]
Remv smbfs [3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4]

Looks like removing these packages should be fairly harmless...

I presume if they are required they don't get removed:

trevor@leoben:~$ sudo apt-get -s remove smbfs smbclient
[sudo] password for trevor:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED
smbclient smbfs ubuntu-desktop
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Remv ubuntu-desktop [1.102]
Remv smbclient [3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4]
Remv smbfs [3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4]

apart from ubuntu-desktop, won't cause a problem will it?

Even ubuntu-desktop won't cause a problem. It's just a meta-package,
after all. If it bothers you that much, reinstall the meta-package
afterwards. I do not think smbfs or samba-client will be brought down
with it...

OK I tried apt-get; for some reason it didn't want to remove half the system as
Synaptic said it would. smbf was not installed on any of my (3) systems. On 2
of them openbsd-inetd was also removed and python-libuser & libuser1 were
removed on all 3. I rebooted everything and windoze network is still there. I
then commented out everything in exports and did the boot thing again; same
result. Seems even in Linux windoze is trying to rule the world.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
Roy
