Samba Shares via Command Line? (Oh, and viewing pictures)

[Jon M. Hanson]

smbmount can mount Samba shares from the command line. The command  
itself gives quite a bit of help and then, of course, there is the man  
page.

If your friend is strictly in a command line environment (no X  
running) then there isn't any way to view graphics files.
