If you can get CIFS to work as a replacement to SMBFS, that's what you should
do. If you have Win9x and/or OS/2 shares on your network, you'll need to
recompile your SUSE kernel to include SMBFS support to provide acceptable
access to those shares. The kernel developers seem to have planned to remove
the possibility to recompile with SMBFS enabled in post-2.6.24 kernels.
