SMB support should be compiled in the kernel. Install the samba port. Edit smb.conf file properly and reboot the machine. Hope this should solve your problem.

The nsmb* device is listed in MAKEDEV, and works for me. From /dev/MAKEDEV: nsmb*) unit=`expr $i : 'nsmb\(.*\)'` mknod nsmb$unit c 144 $unit ;; If you're sure you have the right MAKEDEV script, make sure you're not trying to run it with bash. The sh you should be using is the Bourne shell that shipped with FreeBSD. I have noticed that when running in a SMP configuration, using the smbfs kernel modules doesn't work. You have to hardcode the SMB stuff into the kernel. However, on single CPU configs, what you're doing works.
