Not so. There are some problems with host name resolution in cifs that don't
occur with smbfs. I experienced them. Several people posted painful
workarounds for those problems, but just sticking with smbfs is a far better
solution. Avoid the cifs bleeding-edge solution for now. Some day it may be
the way to go.
