Hello,
I hope you guys know that there is some difference between the RPM and the SPRM, i think this is why you ar getting confused.
See, when you issue the command like this

urpmi smbfs

and then urpmi smbfs.
The output generated will be

no name package smbfs

I think you guys need to study some basics of the Linux operating system and the some reading on the smb server and finally carry on with the particle work.

Hello,
I think I found the solution, I think that smbfs is a package but ultimately it's a module and it must be loaded at boot and voila what art what you do,
you searched with smbfs

find /-name smbfs

and is located in the kernel with the name

smbfs.ko.gz

After that it should mount it with modprobe in response:

modprobe smbfs

I think till now you got the idea of what I am trying to explain you. Just try the above commands and see what is the output generated by them.

We check what is fitted with

I do not know that this is what you need as a solution, but the commands are going to help you, that is for sure.
