I don't think that Solaris 8 even supports mounting of smb
filesystems, at least not without some sort of third party software.
Or maybe I'm just behind the times?  (if you've been able to mount it
manually, then I must be :)

One option is rumba, which converts smb to nfs, which your box can
then mount without any kernel modifications.  Otherwise, your kernel
needs to know smb, and the only *nix OS's that I'm aware of that can
do this are Linux and maybe FreeBSD.
