amd is the "auto mounter daemon" which is a mature cross platform (unix) automatic network disk mounting solution, but in current linux distros it's been pretty much superseded by autofs, a native linux implementation of the same general idea. If you have autofs installed on your linux workstation, there should be some files there, such as /etc/auto.master and others, including auto.home and auto.net which I've found useful. There should also be a file called auto.smb for mounting remote pc-lan shares. Take a look at /etc/auto.smb, as it should provide a good starting point.
