Hi,

I am searching smbmount command on centOS 5.

On, CENTOS 4.4, I used it as follows to backup data to a window PC. I want to do it on CentOS 5 now.

mount -t smbfs -o ip= 192.168.5.225,username=mailbackup,password=secret //server/mail_backups /mnt/maildaily

I can not issue such command on centos 5. When I try , It gives below error.

[root@mail ~]# mount -t smbfs -o ip= 192.168.5.225,username=mailbackup,password=secret //server/mail_backups /mnt/maildaily mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'

help needed.

smbfs has been depreciated. See this wiki for mounting Windows shares:
