[linux-cifs-client] osx-cifs-client ?

[Timothee Besset]

Well I think are mistaken. And it's quite surprising for someone with an 
  @samba.org email address. They have an smbfs client, but they don't 
have a cifs client ( unless it's in the next release of OSX - Tiger - 
which I didn't get my hands on yet ).

I need working file locking semantics, which only a CIFS client gives me..
