deprecating smbmount ?

[Steven French]

CIFS VFS needs NLTMv2 support to work to Windows (minor change needed) - 
it works to Samba now, before I would feel comfortable.

Current plan is 2.6.18 kernel (2.6.18 is at rc2) will ship NTLMv2 support 
working to Windows,  For kernel version 2.6.19 we can deprecate smbfs and 
related utilities (smbmount, smbmnt) if no major issues found.

Steve,

At some point I would like to stop shipping smbmount, smbmnt,
and smbumount since they are basically unmaintained code.
Do you have a feel for when this might be?  When will the smbfs
code be removed from the kernel?





cheers, jerry
