Wow,
I didn't know that we can mound Windows drives via sambha.
But on executing the command
mount smbfs -o username=xyz,password=abc //windowmachine/share /mnt/folder
it gave me error.
On researching i found out that i dont have the "smbfs" option.
On removing the "smbfs" option it gave me "permission denied", that i can remove by doing with root password, but the problem is what is "smbfs" option and without it will it mount Windows drives.
Also do i have to have the same user name in Windows and give him rights in that share.

smbmnt
SMBMNT(8) SMBMNT(8)
NAME
smbmnt - helper utility for mounting SMB filesystems
SYNOPSIS
smbmnt mount-point [ -s <share> ] [ -r ] [ -u <uid> ] [ -g <gid> ] [ -f <mask> ] [ -d <mask> ] [ -o <options> ]
DESCRIPTION
smbmnt is a helper application used by the smbmount program to do the actual mounting of SMB shares. smbmnt can be installed setuid root
if you want normal users to be able to mount their SMB shares.
A setuid smbmnt will only allow mounts on directories owned by the user, and that the user has write permission on.
The smbmnt program is normally invoked by smbmount(8)
It should not be invoked directly by users.
smbmount searches the normal PATH for smbmnt. You must ensure that the smbmnt version in your path matches the smbmount used.
OPTIONS
-r mount the filesystem read-only
-u uid specify the uid that the files will be owned by
-g gid specify the gid that the files will be owned by
-f mask
specify the octal file mask applied
-d mask
specify the octal directory mask applied
-o options
list of options that are passed as-is to smbfs, if this command is run on a 2.4 or higher Linux kernel.
