fstype in SunOS 5.8

[Sean Elble]

My apologies for some misinformation; smbclient only offers a FTP-like
interface to another server. It doesn't, as I had said, allow you to
actually mount a Windows share on a UNIX system. The following URL offers an
extensive description of the SMB client:

http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbclient.1.html

Hope that helps.
