Connecting Linux desktop users to a Windows file server?

Okay, I answered my own question ...

Lynn> $ mount /mnt/work
Lynn> Password:
Lynn> cannot mount on /mnt/work: Operation not permitted
Lynn> smbmnt failed: 1

The problem was that I needed to own the mount point

$ su
# chown lnewton. /mnt/work
Ctrl-D
$ mount /mnt/work

did the trick. That's a gotcha for my notes file.
