!? I feel clueless now! I thought I could only mount cifs shares on unix 
using a utility like Sharity. I should check again. Not all the unix boxes 
that use this setup are linux boxes, the clients are SGs using IRIX. Maybe 
it was the irix man page for mount that gave me the idea that I could not 
mount cifs, or maybe the mere existence of sharity as something people 
actually pay for. Yeah, I think smbmount hasn't been ported to irix, just 
the lamo pseudo-ftp interface, I forget the name. My users complain about 
gui ftp stuff, if I tried to get them to use a line-oriented ftp thing 
there'd be rebellion. If I can mount the cifs shares, that's definitely the 
way to go.
