Hi all.
Kernel 2.4.18 smbfs worked, 2.4.19-pre8 smbfs worked (although
fs/ufs/super.c had some missing commas), 2.5.11 smbfs didn't work. The
RedHat 7.2 had samba-2.2.1a-4 so I pulled down samba-2.2.3a-4 from the
skipjack beta and compiled it under kernel 2.5.11 and it mounts windows
shares correctly. I'm in the process of going to 2.5.13 but I'm going
to stick with the 2.2.3a-4 samba.
Thanks for all of your help.
