Why force the users to use samba to simulate UNC?  Has Wine really any
business to go crawling through mtab looking for resources it can make
available to windows programs?  Wineinstall can do this if it likes, and
generate [Drive X] with "Server" =, and the Wine Administrator can
change them if _it_ likes.
I am more comfortable to believe Wine will only mess where I tell it it
can mess.

What IS UNC, anyway?  :-/
