Actually, I think it is already out.

Get the source from:
ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/

I have not yet tested this myself however ...


Btw, Tridge, I checked Documentation/Changes in the kernel source for the
adress to util-linux, and I noticed this (in 2.3.28).

The 2.0.0 release of Samba:
ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/samba-2.0.0.tar.gz

Maybe that should be changed to 2.0.6 now? Also the previous entry on
SMBfs that talks about some scripts that were useful with samba < 2.0.5
looks like it needs updating.
(Sorry, no patch this time :)
