[Samba] samba 2.2.3a & winbind - "smbmount" binary is missing

[Brian Whitehead]

Try it like this,

smbmount //server/share /mnt/point -o
username=xxx,workgroup=xxx,password=xxx

I've found that a lot of the documentation has a lot of discrepancies.  I've
seen this explained many different ways, including the usage statements with
the command.
