Yes and no.
If you want to grant public access to a share, then define a share as
"guest ok = yes", and use
map to guest = bad user

Also, the password encryption problem might cause you some headaches.
Better to use
encrypt passwords = yes

"mount -t smbfs" is for linux only.

For sun you have 3 options:
1) ftp like interface -> smbclient (samba)
2) kind of virtual file system -> smbsh (smbwrapper. samba) configure
with "--with-smbwrapper"
3) mounting -> sharity: free (sharity light) and commercial version look
on the web.
