As I do not have Samba installed in my machine I cannot check if this is true on Debian/Ubuntu, however I remember that one of mount.smbfs and mount.cifs is a symlink to the other, or maybe they are both a symlink to a third executable file. > Does an attendee need to know these 3 commands?

I think that we should not privilege just one or a few of the filesystem-specific mount commands, and that we should expect a candidate to be aware of the mount.$FILESYSTEM commands that take care of the gory filesystem details. In Samba's specific case, I would just mention the mount -t cifs or mount.cifs command. Besides, I can read the following in http://linux.die.net/man/8/smbmount: WARNING: smbmount is deprecated and not maintained any longer. mount.cifs (mount -t cifs) should be used instead of smbmount.
