samba - Jan 2002 - Can the mac O/S access a samba share through the chooser

Up to now we never had a need to have macs access our fileserver. The macs can
ssh and ftp to our fileserver but not see it in the chooser (the macs version of
network neighborhood ). So I was wondering is there a mac application for the
application layer of networking to allow the mac to see the samba share. I know
is Mac O/S 10 you can use the command line and use the smb mount command and do
it over tcp/ip. But I want them to be able to just click a shortcut on their
desktop.  Thanks for the help.

Sorry If I confused you but I don't use macs so I really don't
understand them.

What you need is not SAMBA, but netatalk, which does appletalk on unix, 
therefore being native mac.  The server then sees it as a mac server.
