Well, I don't completely agree. I suppose it's true if you wish to have an
fstab entry to mount a remote win fs, but if you just want to randomly access
a remote Win fs, smbclient, which comes with samba, will let you do that,
though it's with an interface similar to ftp.
If the fs is on the local hd, you don't need smbfs, you can just mount the
fs as a dos partition.
Of course, using smbfs is not a wrong answer, just not the only :)
