This is another example of why I use Gnome, regardless of how much
hell people give me for it.

[sam at samlap ~]$ id
uid=1000(sam) gid=100(users)
groups=10(wheel),74(sshd),100(users),498(pulse-rt),501(libvirt)
[sam at samlap ~]$ gvfs-mount smb://10.0.1.69/Drobo01
[sam at samlap ~]$ ls .gvfs/drobo01\ on\ 10.0.1.69/
Applications  DroboApps  Incoming  Movies  Music  Personal  TV

Note that not once did I need root access, yet I did not leave the Command Line.
