In most offices I have worked at IT setup the shares to automatically be
mounted in windows. The user didn't even know what a share was except of
course "the files I want are on drive T". The analogue of that on Linux
would be using automount (assuming it works with cifs/smbfs) to mount
the directories when the user looks at them. So it seems the use of
Komba in normal office environment would not even be needed or wanted,
since IT probably wouldn't want users trying to snoop around in various
other shares on the network.
