The filesystem is not mounted. Gnome, and I guess KDE, use smbclient
libraries to connect to the SMB share (works like an FTP session). I
found this out when I wanted to know the same thing.
HTH
Amul
On our internal wiki I have some tips:
-Look up NetBIOS Services
smbclient -L HOSTNAME -U DOMAIN/username
Where HOSTNAME is the NetBIOS Hostname (aka Samba Hostname) or the
host's IP address.
-Conenct to a Windows Share like its an FTP session
smbclient -U NA/username //HOST/share
-Connecting to a Windows Share
mount -t smbfs -o username=USERNAME/DOMAIN,rw //HOSTNAME/SHARE MOUNT_POINT
If you are using sudo be sure to specify your user and group IDs
otherwise the mount will be owned by the root user!
sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=USRNAME/DOMAIN,uid=`id -u`,gid=`id
-g`,rw //HOSTNAME/SHARE MOUNT_POINT
