which speaks only SMB, so I'm looking for ways to do that. I have two
servers which write logs I need, and I'm tired of using an old FC1 box
to do it. Surely core functionality like SMB hasn';t really been
removed, has it?

Using CIFS, linking mount.cifs to mount.smbfs, downloading several
smbmount "replacements" which don't work, and other obvious things found
in a few hours of search and swear testing. The error was
error 112 = host is down
which I guess means "host wants to talk SMB not CIFS" in reality.

Other info:
. smbtree can see the filesystems required, discard all the hardware,
network, etc, guesses
. the new machines with FC7 send packets to the right host, but they
aren't using SMB
as confirmed by tcpdump, discard DNS guesses
. the host is up for ping and ftp, and various other distributions from
FC1 to FC4 are able to mount
the f/s (those were the machines not in production) discard host and
server problem guesses

If you can be more specific, it'd help. We use Samba a hell of a lot
and it depends on which security model you're using, user names,
kerberos tickets, timestamps and several other items.
