Well, you have two options...


(i) Download the open-source Samba and compile it yourself and use the command-line tools to mount and unmount SMB/CIFS disks from PC hosts


(ii) Download and test the commercial OS X app Sharity (search versiontracker.com for info), a CIFS client with GUI that plugs into the Network part of the Finder.


Either options are satisfactory.

    But I believe the gist of the original point was that a user doesn't have to install a 3rd party solution in order to connect to a Windows machine. Or maybe it was just that a user doesn't have to resort to a commercial 3rd party solution (as both items that you listed were shareware or open source).

      Samba comes pre-installed on X Server, but not X. Perhaps the author is confusing the two.
