Just had the same problem yesterday. Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt
tell to use the smbmount from the latest samba package.
Tried it, but since I have RH5, there were of course problems with glibc.
Having (seemingly) solved these, it seemed that this thing almost works.
2 glitches though:
1. smbumount doesn't like the mounted smb directory and refuses to umount
it. Non-smb umount did the thing.
2. I couldn't get the file and directory owners and permissions right no
matter what mount options and umask I tried.
