For linux you can use smbmount. Its probably part of every new 
distribution. It is a user based mount of a share of an NT-server. 
smbmount is partly a part of samba (./configure --with-smbmount) and 
partly a part of the linux kernel (smbfs).

The last one is the reason that on other unixes you can only use 
smbclient or smbsh (which should work on linux as well).
