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.
