smbsh only works with dynamically linked programs. You can use the
"file" command to see how a program is linked. For example

> file /bin/cp /usr/bsd/rcp
/bin/cp:        ELF 32-bit MSB mips-2 executable MIPS - version 1
/usr/bsd/rcp:   ELF 32-bit MSB mips-2 dynamic executable MIPS - version
1

Notice that cp is not dynamic. Use rcp to copy files instead.

> file /bin/*grep
/bin/egrep:     ELF 32-bit MSB mips-2 dynamic executable MIPS - version
1
/bin/fgrep:     ELF 32-bit MSB mips-2 dynamic executable MIPS - version
1
/bin/grep:      ELF 32-bit MSB mips-2 executable MIPS - version 1


Notice grep is not dynamic, use egrep or fgrep instead.
