smbmount ?

[Jeffrey Ross]

looking for either smb mount or its replacement in FC6

running "yum whatprovides smbmount" shows me that samba contains the man
page but there is no match for smbmount.

running mount -t smbfs gives me unknown filesystem type.

samba is installed.

TIA, Jeff

smbfs is dead.
Use cifs instead.

You have to use cifs instead of smbfs, which is deprecated

smbfs is no more, you should use cifs :
example :
mount.cifs //10.0.0.X/sharename /mount/point -o 
iocharset=utf8,user=xxx,password=xxx
