What's wrong with making entries in /etc/fstab to automagically mount the
shares? Back when I had a Win98 box connected to the network, I had an entry
in fstab as thus:
//<Wrkgrp>/<ShrNm>/ /<MntPt> smbfs password=<ShrPasswd> 0 0
I could then use whatever file management program I wanted to access the
files.
