Luke,

	I'm afraid you'll have to explain it a bit more. Searching the web
for "samba" or "smbfs" in conjunction with "delegation" doesnt turn up
anything but false positives. I assume you mean that I somehow have to get
the authentication piece on the Linux client side for smbfs delegated to
something else (the Samba server side? Isnt that the way things normally
happen?).

Thanks,
Kenneth
