I guess this is where things get a little funny -- Windows has a "domain 
administrator" while unix only has root on individual machines.

In my case, I'm running on a workgroup and the shares on other machines 
are shared to *everyone*.  So it seems like I should indeed be able to get 
to them, regardless of who I am.
