What program is "the samba client"?

I am able to mount SMB shares on an Ubuntu system with Nautilus when
Samba is not installed at all...

As far as I know, it is gvfs that does the mounting magic for Nautilus.
If I mount an SMB share, a new instance of gvfsd-smb appears in my
process table; if I unmount the share, the process disappears. There is
another program gvfsd-smb-browse that is in there from time to time,
not sure what starts it. At any rate, I'm 99% certain that these do not
reference smb.conf.

If you are talking about smbmount, I haven't tried that. Casual
googling suggests it does not have a problem with later versions of the
SMB protocol.

Regards, K.
