smbmount was killed off in favor of mount.cifs. However, it's easier to
use a standard mount command, but specify "-t cifs":

mount -t cifs //server/share /mountpoint \
-o user=username,domain=workgroup,password=password

or you could put all the options in one option:

-o user=workgroup/username%password

Even better, use a credentials file with the username and password in
it so it's not visible in a command history:

-o domain=workgroupname,credentials=/path/to/cred/file

I would like to mount it automatically.
So, is it possible to put those lines into /etc/fstab as follows ?

//server/share /mountpoint cifs user=workgroup/username%password 0 0
