smbfs is deprecated and should no longer be used.  Use cifs instead.

Also, if you attempt to mount a SMB share and it sits there forever and
doesn't ever connect, you may need to add "port=139" to the option string. 
The Samba suite that shipped with at least one distro tried port 445 first and
just sat there forever if it didn't get a response, instead of trying 445 and
then trying 139.

mount is SUID root.  No sudo needed, provided fstab has "users" in the option
field.  When using SMB, though, the user who's doing the mount *must* own the
mountpoint.  Otherwise the mount will fail with misleading/stupid error
messages.
