Package: Autofs
Version: 4.1.3+4.1.4beta2-10

After encountering various timeouts and retries using
the
smbfs to access WinXP shares and reading that smbfs
was 
headed for obsolescence in favor of CIFS, I started
using 
CIFS to access the WinXP shares with much better
results.
The problem is that I was unable to mount Win9x shares

using CIFS.  

A dual path is needed in the auto.smb script to detect
if the share is on a WFW (i.e. Win9x) or Win2K class
(i.e. WinXP) server, then mount using fstype=smbfs or
fstype=cifs accordingly.
