Samba Automount Shares

Registered by Daniel Centore

Samba should be easier to use, especially moving from windows.
Currently, it is difficult to access widows shares without applying the winbind fix here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149

Also, if i wish to put music from a samba share into rhythmbox, i have to smbmount it or put the share in fstab, an absolute annoyance after moving from \\whatever\music.

Samba should mount all the shares as they are detected in a /network directory (ie /network/computer_name/share)

I believe this would be feasable and quite an improvement for users.
