The one that works best. Nowadays smbmount is being maintained.

I believe there are/were some problems getting smbwrapper working on more
recent Linux (glibc 2.2 trouble).

smbmount/smbfs works for most simple things, including some that are
listed as not working for smbwrapper (executing files, using mmap, shell
redirection). But there are a bunch of known problems too.

pam_mount ?

Or put a smbmount call in your startup scripts (/etc/rc.local), using the
credentials option or something.


You probably already have smbmount/smbfs on your RH7.2 system. So why not
try it and see if it works for what you want?

And don't trust everything you read ...
