I just tried smb://server/share from konqueror on a rh8 workstation to a rh7.2 samba server. I was asked for a name and password. The share opened as expected.
I also tried the same syntax from konqueror on a rh8 workstation to a win95 share. The share opened as expected. No name/password was required by the win95 box.
I did think that gnome and nautilus did this more simply. But, I still prefer KDE.
In practice however...
I have the samba share duplicated as an NFS export. Windows boxes use samba. Linux boxes use NFS and a link to /mnt/net/server/share. The downside is that user names and passwords must be synchronized between linux and samba.
