I have two Debian boxes:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -lh /sbin/mount.smbfs
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2.5K 2008-01-25 14:59 /sbin/mount.smbfs
and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/westk:> uname -a
Linux goshen 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 26 17:17:36 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

On the machine having the 2.6.18 kernel, with the "real"
/usr/bin/smbmount command, I can mount an SMB file system exported from
a Sun 5.9 box.
On the machine having the 2.6.22 kernel, I can not. Here's the error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ smbmount //faculty/web netShares/web/
Password:
mount error 2 = No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
This used to work on this box, until a few months (weeks?) ago (I'm just
now getting around to working on the problem).
Both boxes run Sid.
I very vaguely recall reading something about some aspect of smbfs going
away, and now needing to use CIFS, and I probably updated some package
in order to follow the gameplan, but I don't remember what I did.
Further, I really hate to go backwards - I'd rather get fixed whatever's
broken in the "new" setup (assuming I have a "new" setup).
Any of you folks understand the Samba ins-and-outs well enough to help
me get this straightened out?
Thanks!
