Re: Smbmount et Tomsrtbt2.0.103...

I'm curious if anyone has an idea why upgrading the kernel and smb stuff
would affect this particular error, it is the same "mount" binary that
has been there for a long time, it is the real GNU-mount from util-linux
2.8, too, so it should be fine.  I suspect that there is some misdirection
in the error message- maybe it means it thinks it wants a "mount" linked
with glibc instead of libc5?  There is no "mount" version "6"- "mount"
is part of utils-linux, which is still only up to something like 2.9o, I
think...  If anyone wants to look at the source code for smbfs or whatever...

Given that 'smbmount' works when used standalone, I'll just consider this
to be solved with a FAQ update...
