Hi Pete,
thanks for your reply:

no, it is not here, and as far as I understand I would need to install 
smbfs to get it, which is not possible as already mentioned):
---------------------------------------------
$ apt-cache search smbmount
smbfs - mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than 2.2.x)
---------------------------------------------

But there is something which confuses me: If I use the GUI (Gnome) I 
*can* mount these shares sucessfully!! So how does this work?

Kind regards, INgo.
