That could help but is not at all needed, you can use the (lenghty) command
smbmout \\\\myserver\\myshare mypassword -U username -W domain -I
myserveripaddress
Note that \\ in unix means \ in NT (Old unix goofness where \ is a special
character for commands that span multiple lines so for special characters
like \,& or # to appear in strings in the shell you have to enter them as
\\, \& or \#)
no need to modify the smb.conf file although it might help you use the short
version :)
