...and bam, you're a CIFS client, no Samba required.

What specific application were you using to browse shares and in what way did it not work? Knowing that would help me figure out what it's trying to do and why it's not working.

We need more details on what your shares are.
Corona688,

I need the SAMBA as i explained it must come up on bootup, and therefore has to be in the fstab to auto load with all required passwords. Additionally this process has to be repeated on other machines to have fully functional network, sharing with the Linux and Windows servers.

Cheers!

PS

If it's not SAMBA, then the Windows computers on the network will not see any of the shares.

NAME
fusedav - mount WebDAV shares SYNOPSIS
fusedav [-hDL] [-t secs] [-u username] [-p password] [-o options] URL mountpoint DESCRIPTION
fusedav is a userspace filesystem driver that allows you to mount WebDAV shares. This way you can transparently edit and manage files on a remote server. As long as the fusedav process is running, the WebDAV share located at URL is accessible under mountpoint. If username and password are required and you did not specify them on the command line you will be prompted as soon as you are trying to access the mounted share. OPTIONS
-h Show summary of options. -D Enable debug mode. -L Lock the repository during mount. (Not properly supported on all servers, hence not enabled by default.) -t secs Set lock timeout to secs seconds. -u username Use username for authentication if required. -p password Use password for authentication if required. -o options Pass options as additional mount options to FUSE. URL Location of the WebDAV share. mountpoint Local mountpoint of the WebDAV share. AUTHOR
fusedav was written by Lennart Poettering <mzshfrqni (at) 0pointer (dot) de>. This manual page was written by Sebastian Harl <tokkee@debian.org>, for the Debian project (but may be used by others). August 24, 2006 FUSEDAV(1)
