To make Windows shares available on a linux box try something like the following in 
/etc/fstab:

# To list available shares use "smbclient -L $IP -U $WINDOWS_USERNAME
//machine/SHARE       /mountpoint           smbfs   
username=$WINDOWS_USERNAME,password=$WINDOWS_PASS,ip=$IP,fmask=664,gid=$LINUX_GROUP 0 0

Or from the command line...

# /usr/bin/smbmount "//machine/SHARE" /mountpoint -o 
username=$WINDOWS_USERNAME,password=$WINDOWS_PASS,ip=$IP

You might also want to have a look at the following documentation:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/ch-samba.html

The O'Reilly Samba book is useful for doing things not covered in more simplistic 
documentation:
