$ rpm -qpl 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/samba-client-3.0.2a-1.i386.rpm 
| grep -i cifs
/sbin/mount.cifs
/usr/share/man/man8/mount.cifs.8.gz

$ cat /etc/fedora-release;rpm -qf /sbin/mount.cifs
Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
samba-client-3.0.2-7.FC1



as root
eg.
# mount -t cifs -ousername=user //server/share /mnt/cifs
should work
