That would be an unsigned short on a 32-bit machine (I hope you're not still using a 16-bit machine these days). I don't know about other Linux distributions, but Red Hat Linux (Fedora Core these days) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux have a bug where smbfs doesn't work with uids >16 bits. AFAIK, everything else works fine. -- JF P.S. I will be very happy when cifsfs replaces smbfs forever.
