...eventually.
Apparently the latest mount utilities are included in the samba distribution.
That's true, I suppose, but they're not compiled by default, and they
definitely aren't included in the RPM packages.
Furthermore, they don't even compile out of the box. The included patch was
required to get them to work, along with a minor change to linux/include/linux/
smb_fs.h:

I've also made a patch to the documentation, and an RPM of the new mount
utilities. The former is attached, and they're both up for FTP from

The smbmount utility reads the Samba smb.conf config file for some of its
options, and at least one of these is important for smbfs operation. You
should enable the TCP_NODELAY socket option, or else directory listings
