How do I mount a Windows share on 10.5.3 server so everybody can use it?

I was successful in mounting a share and, I hope, giving it 777 directory permission and 666 file permission. However, nobody else can even see it! I used:

mkdir /share
mount_smbf //logname:password@windowsserver/share /share

This worked for me. I can see it and access it from a shell window. However, I want everybody else to be able to get to it.

I have the apple set up so it can be accessed from the windows machine but I keep coming up empty trying to go the other way.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.3)
