Re: [2.6 patch] remove smbfs

There are four common issues with mounting to these very old servers:
1) remembering to mount specifying lanman security (sec=lanman)
2) remembering to specify the netbios name of the server on mount
(which is often not be the same as its tcp name) - we can make this
easier in mount.cifs though
3) some missing function (mostly relating to converting unix time to
DOS time for set time functions, although the other way around works)
4) working around various server bugs (a surprising number of these)


Could you perhaps just emulate it transparently in user space mount?

When smbfs is specifies use cifs with the correct legacy options.
