Avoid the cifs bleeding-edge solution for now. Some day it may be the way to go.
One more thought. There's nothing to stop you from installing both cifs and the older smbfs. You can mount cifs with the mount.cifs command. I suppose that if it works for you, use it. If it doesn't, use smbmount.

So why the hell did Suse decide to outright DROP smbfs is they can co-exist? You would think they would put both in and solicit community feedback on which ones work better and what the problems were? Isn't that the purpose of opensuse? To find problems before they find their way into SLED? I'm getting a little tire of being a test bed with no choice in the matter. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
