smbfs not included in 9.0 kernel?

I have recently loaded 9.0, and was surprised that the smbfs filesystem is not compiled into the distribution kernel. Is it possible I did something wrong during the install, or do I need to recompile the kernel? Trying to run smbmount from my 9.0 box, I get an error 'smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel'. Also, running an lsmod does not show smbfs. Can smbfs be loaded as a module, or will I need to recompile? Thanks, Shawn
