Oh... If you are trying to get things to work with the old and new kernels you might want to check out an smbmount.sh script I have available. Go to http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html for more information. Basically, you install an smbmount from smbfs as smbmount.smbfs and smbmount from samba as smbmount.samba both in /sbin. You then install this script as smbmount in /sbin. (Watch out for installations, smbmount normally installs in /usr/bin, not /sbin - this change was intentional to prevent "make install" from crushing the script.) The script checks what kernel version you are running and calls the appropriate binary and translates syntax, if required (2.1 kernels). This then works with autofs and other critters that think they know the smbmount syntax.
