use cifs instead of smbfs i.e.

mount -tcifs //server/share /mnt/mountpoint

Don't think swat is installed by default anymore, apparently it's a security issue.
If you go to "system settings", "server settings", "Samba"' you'll get a basic set up gui.
You can probably find swat on one of the repos, if you really want it.
