Yeah you can. You can either use smbclient from the command line of smbfs,
which I believe is a kernel module. Never used smbfs, but smbclient ROCKS!
(nothing like being able to annoy my windows users with winpopup messages from
my Sun :)
BTW, the O'Reilly book "Using Samba" is open source and freely obtainable from
www.samba.org in pdf format. So far it's pretty extensive, being a nice mix
between John Blair's "Samba: Integrating Unix and Windows" from SSC and SAMS
"Teach yourself Samba in 24 hours" by Gerald Carter. All 3 books are awesome,
though John's is a little dated now. I highly recommend that if you need to
deploy Samba in a network that you get and read at least one of these books.
All the authors are on the samba dev. team.
