Grabbed the src.rpm or 3.0.23d and built on my FC6 system. Behaviour is
exactly the same as with Fedoras 3.0.23c. Interestingly, mount.cifs is
still version 1.10 in those samba packages. Would that have anything to
do with creation of FIFOs failing?

I would be really interested in seeing the actual patch / commit that
enabled this to work. It would be useful for tinkering around with.

Thanks!
