I am totally confused , what is the difference between
ssh and sshd
samba or smb or smbd
1 Answer
"SSH" is the protocol. ssh is the client. sshd is the server.
"Samba" is the software. "SMB" is the protocol. smbd is the file-sharing server (compare: nmbd, the name-sharing server).

basically if "d" is there then it is server and if not then it is client– JohnApr 23, 2010 at 4:44

For the most part. the "d" stands for "daemon": Disk and Execution Monitor. They watch for stuff happening, and make other stuff happen back. Apr 23, 2010 at 4:53

Just a nitpick, Disk and Execution Monitor is a backronym, not the real meaning of the word "daemon" Apr 23, 2010 at 7:39
