Weird ? Why develop two different access ways for finally accessing same type of
target ?!

Historical reasons ?

So, from what you say. I understand that WS2003 requires to use CIFS, what
smbclient is able to do and smbmount is not.

Solution : use the "mount -t cifs ..." workaround as I saw at some places ?

Thanks.
