	I hope I managed to thank each of you who responded as I
feel like I know where I need to go next thanks to all the great
suggestions.

	I would have had to enabled nfs client if using
mount_smbfs, correct?

	When I built the system in question, I did not enable
nfs capabilities and don't really want to if I can avoid doing
so.

	It sounds like smbclient fits the bill for now, but
thanks to all of you for making things more clear. 

	It seems that /usr/ports/net/samba3 gives one a whole
boatload of possibilities.
