The only thing you need to do is to give your customers an
offer to receive the source code for the smbclient binary
you are using in your product, as required in the GPLv3
licence that smbclient is released under.

You don't need to quote your use of Samba (although
that is always appreciated :-).

If you have any follow up questions Simo is our license
compliance expert, so I suggest you follow up with him
(idra at samba.org).

Cheers,
