cifs mount an A780 from a linux machine

[NetNut404]

I have tried on many fedora core 5 machines (which no longer use smbfs)
and I can telnet, and ping all day long buy since smbfs isn't supported smbmout does not exist.. so does anyone know of how to get mount over usb on one of these linux machines?

the syntax that works for say other windows boxes does not work..

the expample command below works for windows machines.. but you get the error : mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
Refer to the mount.cifs( manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

keep in mind I have other machines mounted no problem..

mount -t cifs //a780/system /mnt/smb/pda/system/ -o username=root,passwd="",uid=500,gid=500.ip=192.168.1.2

mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
Refer to the mount.cifs( manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

any pointers would be much appreciated.

I had a similar problem on my Debian box when the corresponding kernel module was not loaded. Did you check that?

yes, if you notice in the post.. other filesystems are currently mounted via the same way.
