When I run mount -t cifs ... terminal returns mount_cifs file not found. Why is mount_smbfs included in 10.4 but not mount_cifs? How can I get mount_cifs?

mount_smbfs, from what I understand, is quite similar to mount_cifs but mount_smbfs hasn't been maintained for 5+ years while mount_cifs has. I'm running into a possible compatibility issue with Apache in OSX when operating on a SMB mount so I want to try CIFS.

I found that the problem was somehow caused by the path in which the mount was defined not being owned by www:www. I don't know why that had the affect it did as this directory was originally owned by a different user but set up to be r+x to world. Anyway, a quick sudo chown www:www dirname fixed the problem.

does it work if you use mount -t smbfs? I thought cifs and smb were basically the same thing
