My business is running a very mixed environment. We have both Linux and Windows 
(and one Mac), and now I'm looking into adding OpenSolaris to the mix.

Our fileservers are all running Samba. On the Linux machines shares are 
accessed using mount.cifs. Each user simply mounts the relevant shares when 
he/she logs in. This is done with a small script. On logout all the shares are 
un-mounted.

What this means, is that all "open file" dialogs in programs can access the 
shares as if they we're regular local directories.

How would I go about this in OpenSolaris? Would I setup a script using "mount 
-F smbfs [-o options] //share /mount/point" and then un-mount when they log 
out, or is there a preferred OpenSolaris way of doing such things?

Using the Gnome filemanager to mount the shares don't really do it for me, 
because these mounts aren't recognized in most programs "open file" dialogs - 
they simply aren't visible, which is no good for us.

:o)
