greetings-
with RH 5.2 version of samba, I was able to mount Win95 fs with something
like:
smbmount //win95box/c /mnt/win/mountpoint

now when I type smbmount, it pretends to be a shell and gives me 
prompt without any valid command, as follows:

Server time is Wed Aug 25 11:14:24 1999
Timezone is UTC-7.0
security=share
smb: \> ?
?: command not found
smb: \> h
h: command not found
smb: \> ls
ls: command not found
smb: \> dir
dir: command not found
smb: \> 
smb: \> help
help: command not found
smb: \> q
q: command not found
smb: \> quit
quit: command not found
smb: \> exit
exit: command not found
smb: \> q
q: command not found
smb: \> x
x: command not found

am I doing something wrong here?  what used to work nicely and simply
is no longer working.  I understand that there is another program
to worry about now: smbmnt.  I was able to mount Win95 with that program,
but I had a problem with unmounting it.

can you please de-fix this problem?
thanks,
