Luke, Apple's smb client filesystem is based on Boros Popov's FreeBSD
version, not on Samba.  Samba includes a program called "smbclient" which
implements an ftp-like interface perhaps you were thinking of that.

The integration with the Finder has room for improvement imho.

The client filesystem source is in Darwin too.  Look for "smbfs".
Licensing remains FreeBSD, not APSL.
