Wow - cifs is natively supported under Fedora Core 2, so instead of using
smbmount, I did "mount -t cifs //......." and the problem appears to be
solved!

Yee-haa...

Is cifs still "alpha" or something? It seems like it does everything smbfs
does - and more - and yet still appears hidden away (I mean, why didn't
smbmount try cifs instead of smbfs if cifs is better?)

Anyway, all good news :-)
