mounting an arbitrary directory?

Hi all,

Is it possible to specify an arbitrary unix directory to be mounted from
samba? For example, to mount /usr/local/bin ?  Using a different smb
server, I've seen the ability to do this by doing something like

Connect to:  \\smbserver\/usr/local/bin
Connect as: user
Password:   ****

In other words, I'd like to be able to specify the exact path I'd like to
mount without having to explicity put it in smb.conf. (Permissions would
of course be subject to whatever the permissions the user has in
unixland).

If this isn't currently possible, could it be placed on the features
wishlist?

Thanks.
Steve
