I guess that would be expected if you compiled a non-modular smbfs.
Did you?
I am using the Linux 2.4.21 kernel on a Sun Blade 100 with Debian
unstable. Mounting a Samba share works as expected.
i.e. with
# mount -t smbfs -o username=user,uid=user //samba/share /mnt
I am prompted for a password, the mount works and the share is mounted
under /mnt.
