Someone at one of the NC*SA meetings asked me if there was a way to see
Windows shared disk space on a UNIX box. This was a surprising question to
me, as I have never thought it important. However, I suppose it's possible
that it could be important in the unusual situation of having Windows
systems only as servers and a few UNIX systems as desktops.

It's not quite the same as SAMBA: it's the reverse. While this might appear
to be a matter of semantics, it isn't. My head started to hurt wondering why
it couldn't be just a semantic issue....

Anyway, I found a product that does just this:

And the link I found it with was on:

Hope this helps;
