Pretty grim isn't it?? I run LinNeighborhood as sudo and that gets
round the problem. What it is actually saying is that your user account
doesn't have permission to run smbmount properly. Quite frankly browsing
Windows Domains with Gnome is a foul experience - the network browser is
a pile of gunk - you can see machines, but when you try to access them
it doesn't even ask for authentication. What kind of 'network centric'
'just works' system is THAT?? On the other hand, if you use smb4k
(which requires some KDE stuff #-o ) then all of a sudden it all looks
loverly and just what you want =D> and what you expect. Now of course
these aer not all in universe so you need to add more normal
depositories to get the bits - and from there on well, as they say,
with Debian, if you break it you get to keep all bits \\:D/  \\:D/ 
\\:D/
