smbfs is a file system driver interface in the Linux kernel. Samba is a user 
space file and print server. Samba sources includes some user space tools for 
interacting with smbfs. The tools are smbmount, smbumount, etc. and are 
included in the samba source code because they use some of the samba 
libraries/code modules.

smbfs is a work that is idependent of samba. It has been replaced with cifsfs 
in the 2.6 kernel.
