I just installed linux 2.1.85 on a Red Hat 5.0 box that was the 2.0.31 kernel. Now my smbfs is broken. When I try to access a share on another SMB box, I get: SMBFS: need mount version 6 smbmount returns "invalid parameter" error, IIRC. I've gone cross-eyed staring at DejaNews today, trying to find a solution to this, but so far only other people reporting the problem, and no one has a solution. Is this a known problem? Any cures? -- David Wollmann dwollmann@ibmhelp.com
smbfs-2.0.2 (and before) do not work with Linux 2.0.x kernels. You need the smbfs utilities included with samba-1.9.18 and later in order to use smbfs with Linux 2.1.x kernels.

I wouldn't recomend using any of the 2.1.8x kernels. I tried several and something was always broken. Since moving to 2.1.99 everything works. If you do that I will supply you with the revisions numbers of the SAMBA software that is running. Enjoy Ray
