samba - Oct 2001 - linux-2.4.9 smbfs: samba does not samb

Hello.

I have samba 2.2.1a, linux-2.4.9-devfs (client) and mount 2.11h.
Server is linux 2.2.16 and samba 2.2.1a too.

when trying to mount with mount:

#mount -t smbfs //host/share dir
smb_read_super: missing data argument

#mount -t smbfs -oanyoption //host/share dir
smbfs: mount_data version SOMENUMBER is not supported
/* SOMENUMBER depends on given options */

when mounting with smbmount and logging in with smbclient
everything is ok.

Is it kernel smbfs bugs or some version miscompatiblity ?

Installation error.

mount executes /sbin/mount.smbfs that must point to your smbmount
executable. If that is not the case you get this cryptic error message.
