Nautilus and remote servers

[Bryan Pizzuti]

Personally, I prefer something like LinNeighborhood to scan my Windows
shared and mount them, since any application will be able to read the
paths if I do.  With that, I can enter a default username/password,
rather than having to do it each time I first enter a share in nautilus.
Plus, I noticed the "connect to server" thing in nautilus doesn't work
that well...puts it under 'Computer" but quite a few GNOME applications
can't see it as an available path, and NO other apps can.

Unfortunately, so far LinNeighborhood doesn't work, so I have to see
what else is available in Universe. ;)
