mounting a smb filesystem

[Rashkae]

And I quote from the mount  man page:

Mount options for smbfs
       Just like nfs, the smb  implementation  expects  a  binary
       argument  (a  struct  smb_mount_data)  to the mount system
       call. This argument is constructed by smbmount(8) and  the
       current  version  of  mount  (2.9w) does not know anything
       about smb.

If he doesn't have the smbmount program (part of Samba), mount -t smbfs
isn't going to achieve much.

 You can mount a SMB filesystem by using mount command it self in samba 2.2.2.
Here is the way I mount the smb filesystem in my linux box running samba 2.2.2
mount -t smbfs -o username=gaurangp password=<passwd> //fileserver/share /mntpoint
if you miss pasword field from that you will be prompted for that which i think is good idea.

through the documentation, I broke down and am going
to ask you guys. In all the previous versions of
samba that I used, I could mount a smb filesystem with
smbmount. For the way I am using samba, I need this
functionality, or at least something very similar (ie
- not the ftp like smbclient). When I got the latest
version, however, there is no longer a smbmount
program included, and I cant seem to find a way to do
anything similar. I am sure that I am missing
something obvious, but it would save me alot more time
searching if someone could just point out what it is.
