[Samba] smbmount

[Douglas Corner]

I am moving FROM:
   RH EL AS 3.0,  Kernel is 2.1.21-4,   Samba is 3.0.0-14.3E
     (This is what came with the RH  distribution)

TO:
  Fedora Core 5  Kernel is 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5  Samba is 3.0.22-1.fc5
    (Both kernel and samba have been upgraded from the distribution.)

I can't find the smbmount (or smbumount) command.

I am running VMWare and want to be able to move files between the host
WIndows XP system and the guest Linux system.  Under RH I could issue an
smbmount command and mount the XP systems file system and then use all the
file tools.

I know I can use smbclient but mounting the host file system  is much
easier.

man indicates "No manual entry for smbmount"

The man entry for mount talks about using -t smbfs  and refers to
/sbin/mount.smbfs but this doesn't exist either.

My RH system has a link from /sbin/mount.smbfs to /usr/bin/smbmount

ls -l  /usr/sbin/smb* yields:
