Part of it is, with smbfs, but I'm not sure about the startup script
part. Does it control mapping the drives? Probably smbfs cannot
understand a Win/DOS startup script. You might want to ask about it on
the samba mailing list. Find that at http://www.samba.org
You definitely can map NT shares to ext2 mount points using smbfs.
Since this runs under the kernel, there's two parts to it:
The kernel-image-2.x.x packages have it as a module, or you could build
it into the kernel using a kernel-source-2.x.x package.
The other package you need is smbfs itself, which has the mount stuff.
