Sorry, you seem to have your wires crossed! smbfs is a Linux kernel facility and has nothing at all to do with Samba. smbmount is only a front-end to the Linux kernel based smbfs interface. The smbfs technology is mostly obsolete and has been replaced with the CIFSFS toolset. Again, CIFSFS is NOT a part of Samba and for any issues you should identify and address your issues with the correct mailing list.
