samba - Oct 2011 - [quick question] smbclient -m smb2 not working

Greetings list,

I just upgraded to samba 3.6.0 trying SMB2. Though Windows 2008 R2 can work
with SMB2 shares just fine, I'm unable to access SMB2 shares with mount.cifs
or smbclient, even with "-m smb2" specified -- I get this

"Unrecognised protocol level smb2", whereas smbclient comes with
samba-client-3.6.0-63.1.rpm.

So is this supported yet (from client side) or I miss anything?

Regards
-David

smbclient and mount.cifs are two different things.  mount.cifs is from
the cifs-utils project and is no longer part of Samba.  I suspect it
does not yet support SMB2.
