Get a 2.4.19 kernel source tree and apply this patch:
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/01-smbfs-2.4.18-lfs.patch.gz
Then get the samba source tree and apply the negotiation patch:
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/index.html#smbmount-negotiate
Build and install both the kernel and samba (be sure to ./configure
--with-smbmount) and it should work, if you use smbmount as described on
the page.
This code is semi-stable, but you should consider verifying the backups.
