I do two ways of SMB "clienting". For the persistent connections which I
want to access from CLI, I use smbmount to graft a foreign SAMBA share into
my filesystem. For the quick and dirty "There's a spread-sheet on that box
I need to see or change,etc..." I use KDE2.1's smb:// or 2.1.1's rlan:/
features. They've not been well-announced, but they are pretty sweet.
What I hope the KDE team does is join these two technologies for something
akin to a "Map Drive" option in Konqueror which allows the share to be
mapped either anywhere in the FS tree, or possibly in /samba/ or someplace
easy to find.

redmond linux includes rlnethood, our clone of the windows 9x network
neighborhood. currently it requires manual configuration and browses
your local workgroup only, but it works.
by ship time it will have a gui config and be able to browse other
workgroups as well.
thanks!
