Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work. There is virtually no documentation
for it. Plus,I just read that it only supports SMBv1, which makes it useless
for my needs. In addition, I was just reading an article I found with Google
that states that I have to have a GUI loaded, There is no GUI installed on my
FreeBSD box, and I don't intend to install one.
