I have:
# smbclient configuration
//zeus/cma /smb/cma cifs credentials=/home/clive/.smb_pass,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
//zeus/clive /smb/clive cifs credentials=/home/clive/.smb_pass,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
//zeus/misc /smb/misc cifs credentials=/home/clive/.smb_pass,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
//zeus/tamewolf /smb/tamewolf cifs credentials=/home/clive/.smb_pass,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
.smb_pass is in the format:
username=clive
password=<password>
zeus is the (Samba) server and I mount the shares under /smb which you need to
$ sudo mkdir -p /smb/<share>

Try:
$ sudo modconf
and look for kernel/fs/cifs
