I had forgotten about smbmount but that too is not the same as being
able to cd around with cd //host/share
smbmount adds another layer of complexity... and something more to
umount or maintain in mounted state... would also add a few more
characters to each address.

Sorry ...s/K/C/ Universal Naming Convention...  I always think of the
sound `UNK' when I think about that style of address...(//host/share),
it just slipped into print, but I guess I can't hide the fact that I am
largely braindead too.
