[Samba] smbmount

[Dale Schroeder]

On the other hand, I would love to be able to use cifs exclusively, but 
I have several network drives ( WD and TrendNet ), and neither brand 
will mount via cifs with a credentials file.  I have to use smbfs if I 
am to access them.  No amount of googling has provided me with a clue, 
and a thread on this site went nowhere 
[http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-October/126556.html].  So, 
for as long as Debian supports smbfs, I'll continue to use it.  Maybe a 
future firmware revision on the drives will correct the problem.
