Mounting a Windows Share on Linux Server

OK, hope you guys can help me out....

I'm running VMware on a Windows Server 2003. I've installed Fedora 7 on the VM - machine. So both are operating on the same Windows server.....

Fedora is running fine through the VMware software. I would like to mount a windows share to the Linux server to get documents passing back and forth....

I am able to do it using Gnome and put the share on the Desktop, but can't seem to get the mount to work at the command line level.....

I have several scripts that needs to be able to access a mount point at the command line level....

First, does smbmount come as part of the initial install, cuz I can't find the command on the system. Also, SMB isn't running as a process on the server....

I've read that I need to issue this command

smbmount //<server name>/<share> /<mnt point>

Any help would be appreciated....
