[Samba] smbmnt problem ...

[Martyn Ranyard]

Looks to me like you didn't compile with smbmount,  type ./configure --help 
to decide what options you need.  You will almost certainly need 
--with-smbmount

This is such a frequent type of question that I have a printout of the 
configure --help on my desk for when I am dealing with my mail!
