[Samba] I think this would be pretty cool

[Karl Lattimer]

Would it be possible to change or add another mounting method for samba,
instead of using 

 

smbclient -L <host> -U <username>

 

To change this to use the standard URI format of 

 

smbclient smb://<username>:<password>@<host>

 

and to mount

 

mount smb://<username>:<password>@<host>/<shared folder>

 

The current format is fine but if we could use a standard format for all
network access it would improve the consistency.

 

Thanks

PS. It would also be nice to use the same format for nfs etc. how likely do
you think it is that the community at large would be willing to accept this
format, we already use this method for http ftp and similar? Any thoughts
are welcome.
