That message appear when you try to mount a remote share and mounting
smbfs is broken. 

There is a bug when trying to mount smbshares under solaris, and
apparently the debian kernel is built similar to solaris. That is,
if you look in config.h you will see both HAVE_GETVFSENT, and
HAVE_SYS_STATFS_H are defined.

All I know of Solaris are the following fstab types:

#define MNTTYPE_CACHEFS	"cachefs"
#define MNTTYPE_HSFS	"hsfs"
#define MNTTYPE_NFS	"nfs"
#define MNTTYPE_SWAP	"swap"

If you can tell me what corresponds to a smbfs in fstab, the bug should
be fixed (The entry is probably "smbfs", but I cannot be sure, look at
your man page for fstab)

This only applies to smbfs *not* listed in fstab. If you manually list
the smbshare in /etc/fstab, you should have no problem mounting it.
