Large file size issues with Samba client.

[Brett Simpson]

After patching Samba 2.2.3 and the 2.4.18 kernel with your patchs and I can now access files > 2GB without issue. Just for kicks I downloaded 2.5.24 and that worked too (without patching the kernel). Guess smbfs lfs is included. For now though I'm running 2.4.18 just to be safe. Thanks.

Apply the 2.4.18 kernel patches from:
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/index.html 

00 - 02 + the samba patch to make smbmount negotiate.

smbfs did not implement LFS before.
