tells us that:

|smbmount| has been deprecated in favor of |mount.cifs|. I want to say 
"since at least 2008" but I can't find a reference.

Here's the accompanying manpage 
<http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man8/smbmount.8.html>. 
You would use these parameters instead:

|  sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.100/ samba/ -o rw
|

You might also need to install the cifs-utils Install cifs-utils 
<https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/cifs-utils> package.

cifs-utils is already installed on my mint system.
