 This is question is certainly going to bug the samba team for
forever now, including smbmount is going to haunt for ever...

 The linux source tree under -
 linux/Documentation/Changes
 tells people to get the samba distribution for a working smbmount...

 Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt is even more explict about getting
and installing Samba to make smbfs to work.

 Linux 2.2 is probably going to ship with doco implying that smbmount
is part of the samba package, when all its a 'contributed' unsupported
addon instead.
