Well, I suspected this. So, to samba package maintainers, this raises an issue we've been imagining for a while: what the hell should with do with smbmount and smbumount? smbfs is considered obsolete and users reporting bugs with it are always suggested using cifs and mount.cifs...which they do as Martin mentions. So, should we really continue shipping smbmount and smbumount in the smbfs package? What can we do for our users if we plan to remove them? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
