smbfs and 2.1.79 again

I havn't tried your patch to 2.1.79 to use the different gettatr calls
(yet) or whatever it was. But I had a go out mounting with -f 3755, which
should enable the workarounds (even though I compiled smbfs with the
workaround enabled). Still no go. When I do ls, ls -l, I get 0 files the
first few times, but after a while it lists some of the files, but with no
permissions except for dirs which have the "d" bit correctly set.

So maybe smbmount is not passing the options to the smbfs layer? I had a
look at the code and it calls smbmnt, and it does seem to pass the options
across.

Is there a way I can patch my kernel source with your patch, and just
recompile smbfs without having to recompile the whole kernel?

Regards,

Dave.
