That could be a good point.  Actually, if network mounting is in order,
it should be smbmount instead.  If you use mount, you would have to
specify a mount type like smbfs or something.  If mount can be used with
samba now, then that's something new I didn't know.  Yes, I was
interpreting the original question as if it were on the same machine.
