I will agree that SMBFS is quite useless, but for different reasons than
you give. I'm using 2.1.116, by the way, but my experiences go back to
2.0 and beyond.

That's odd. I don't get that at all. In fact, it mostly appears to be
working for me:
% smbmount //windy/c
Added interface ip=192.0.2.1 bcast=192.0.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
startlmhosts: Can't open lmhosts file /usr/local/samba/lib/lmhosts.
Error was No such file or directory

I dont see much difference in what we're doing, so I'm not sure what to
say.
Anyway, MY reason for proclaiming SMBFS to be silly, is this: Try it
yourself!
% cd WINDOWS # or any large directory
% for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do; echo * | wc -w; done
337

Now, does this make ANY sense at all? I say it does not. And yes, I do
have CONFIG_SMB_WIN95 turned on. The system "Windy" above is a Win98
box.
Does anyone have a system where this does NOT happen? I would be
surprised to find anyone who can get a stable, repeatable directory
listing which actually contains ALL files in a large directory.
