you'd have to be more specific before I could be of much use here.

Anyway, the smb protocol is seemingly used more as describing a Windows
networking connection as Microsoft (and samba) have shifted to CIFS but
for legacy purposes, some of the usage still refers to smb: protocol.

For example, current Fedora no longer has mount.smbfs because it has
been removed but samba-client adds mount.cifs

Obviously Microsoft is the authoritative source for all information on
both smb and cifs protocols
