It is and I thought I had this fixed just prior to the 2.0b1
release... Anything prior to that release will be busted with the
timing error.
Make sure that when you configure the samba package that you
include the --with-smbmount option or smbmount, smbmnt, and smbumount
will NOT get rebuilt and you may be left with some older version. To
make sure, compare the date/times of your smbmount/smbumount binaries with
the date on smbd/nmbd.
I'm going to go back to the release packages and make sure it made
it's way into them. It was in the CVS checkouts...
