+This directory existed until kde 3.3, if you're interested to revive it, you
+can get it back from cvs. It has been removed because the smbro-ioslave has also
+been removed, and this plugin doesn't work without it.
+
+This plugin for konqy works together with the smbro ioslave.
+It uses the special() function of the smbro ioslave to mount and unmount smb
+shares. This is done by the ioslave by executing smbmount and smbumount.
+Therefor both have to be installed suid root.
+If you consider this a security risk, don't use this plugin.
+Move with konqy into a smb share (e.g. smb://host/my_files) and then select
+Tools->smbmount current share. The share "my_files" will be mounted under
+"~/smb_network/host/my_files". Once you mounted the share, the menu item
+"smbumount current share" becomes active, so that you can unmount it again.
+
+AFAIK smbmount is linux-only, so it won't work on other systems.
+
+If you have suggestions, wishes or find bugs, send me an email.
