Hmm, I'm still clearly missing something.  Go on, tell me where I'm being
silly, I'm sure it's something obvious.

Booted new kernel.

I just pulled a copy of samba out with git (which I'm not overly familiar
with):

git-clone -n git://git.samba.org/samba.git samba
cd samba
git-checkout origin/v3-3-test
cd source
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-cifsupcall
make
make install

Installed keyutils.

Created /etc/request-key.conf:

create  cifs.spnego    * * /usr/local/samba/sbin/cifs.upcall -c %k
create  cifs.resolver  * * /usr/local/samba/sbin/cifs.upcall %k

(that right?)

Mounted without kerberos (I'll worry trying to get that working in a bit).  On
entering an external directory:

CIFS VFS: dns_resolve_server_name_to_ip: unable to resolve: <remote hostname>

I'm doing something wrong.
