Hi all,

I have been experimenting with 2.1.x kernels in recent weeks.

I got the basic system up by starting with a Redhat 5.1 system,
upgrading the packages (as detailed on http://www.linuxhq.com/),
and then compiling the kernel.

Everything is working fine, except for when I try doing Samba
mounts.

[root@harmony /root]# /usr/sbin/smbmount //DOGMATIX/C$ /mnt/test -c harmony
-U administrator
Password:
mount error: Invalid argument
Please look at smbmount's manual page for possible reasons

<cut>

On the machine's console the following message occurs:

SMBFS: need mount version 6.

I have upgraded mount as per the instructions on linuxhq.

[root@harmony /root]# mount -V
mount: mount-2.7l

Of course, this doesn't appear to be version 6. So, what's the problem
here? Are the linuxhq.com details up to date?

If not, where is a good place to get the required version of mount?

Tris.
