[Richard Lemay]

Hello,

May I suggest the use of FuseSMB? It is pretty safe and you can have a 
directory automatically list all available machine with their share. If 
you have a recent distribution, it might be the easiest solution (you'd 
have to add a symlink under dosdevices like M. Baker suggests).
