Hello all,

I use Places > Connect to Server... to connect to a Windows share in my work environment (requires Kerberos authentication). When I do so, I can access the Windows share via Nautilus, but I can't figure out how to access the share from the command line without using smbclient.

For example, the share isn't mounted under /mnt or /media. I also looked into ~/.gvfs but that's empty as well.

Is it possible to access the mounted Windows share from the command line without using smbclient?
