The saga continues... I just updated my FC6 Xen VM install, and there
was a kernel update, from a 2.6.18 something to a 2.6.19 something. More
importantly, the cifs module in kernel 2.6.19 is version 1.46. Despite
this, creating the fifo fails.

So what am I doing wrong? It works for you on client version 1.46 with
server 3.0.23d. I have same versions installed. I believe the mount
command I use contains no strange things and my smb.conf is very simple.

Any pointers gratefully received.

Thanks,
