Accessing NT machine from Linux

[Joel Hammer]

As far as I know, you don't need smbd running to access the NT machines. You just
need samba to let your own machine be seen by the NT machine.
What do you see with smbclient -L NTserver ? 
You should be able to mount shares on your linux machines with smbmount if that works.
