As already mentioned elsewhere, cifs does not support "LANMAN"/"SMB" (read: win95/98, os/2 and some SANs) in 2.6.18 yet, so if you need smbfs, try a different kernel such as kernel-default-2.6.18.6-jen43.i586.rpm -`J' -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
