I figured it out. For some reason mount.smbfs symlink was removed.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] sbin]# ln -s /usr/bin/smbmount mount.smbfs
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sbin]# ls -la mount.smbfs
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 17 Mar 25 18:34 mount.smbfs -> /usr/bin/smbmount*

fixed it.

Hello All,

I'm having a problem using mount -t smbfs to mount a samba filesystem and
so the filesystems aren't mounting at startup from fstab. However, when I
use smbmount the shares mount fine. The following is some information (the
shares are on crypt-600):

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]# mount -t smbfs //crypt-600/archive /mnt/archive
-o user,password=xxxx,username=jacobc,uid=501,gid=501
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //crypt-600/archive,
       or too many mounted file systems

I'm not sure why 'nmblookup crypt-600' fails either. Please help! Jacob
