Sharity is a software that will let you connect your Unix computer to any Windows, Samba or other SMB/CIFS Server. Sharity is a cross platform network file system mounting Windows shares transparently, just as if they were part of your local hard disk. I was always looking for a way to  mount my windows drives or directories under my unix (Solaris and Linux) server. In Solaris world it was in particular difficult to accomplish, linux is much easier to deal with. On Solaris platform with Samba I was able to view windows partitions but I was unable to mount them. On Linux I was able to mount Windows partitions using samba. Anyway so one day I did come accross Sharity software, did try it and it worked out just great for me. In my previous work and current one as well I did recommend that software and we started to use it. So its not only great for your home unix environment but also for professional environment as well.
