[linux-cifs-client] Some linux-cifs-client ideas

[Yaroslav Rastrigin]

Hi, 

1. What we want

- - Every unix user should be able to mount and umount cifs shares when he 
wants it,
~  so not only at login time. (using it's own credentials: user/dom/pass or 
krb5...)
(Maybe) browse through the network neighbourhood like browsing through a unix 
directory

I'm currently working on a small utility importing network neighborhood into 
filesystem hierarchy, so it can be viewed and accessed using standard unix 
methods. I'm using fuse as a kernel/userspace interaction level and VFS 
handler, libsmbclient to browse NN and mount.cifs to mount shares over the 
respective directories. There is some progress already, and I'm expecting to 
release first pre-alpha in reasonable time, if nothing will go wrong :-)
I'm planning to use config_api (small configfile library ) to read credentials 
needed for browsing and mounting, but if you could point me into better 
direction, I'll gladly appreciate.
