[Samba] Re: RH8 guest: bad fs?

[Mike - EMAIL IGNORED]

Further examination finds that another system, RH9, has
an executable named smbmount.  I haven't yet tried a mount.
The RH8, below, I think (will know tomorrow), lacks this
file.  A smoking gun?  Why is it missing?  Or is it not
the issue?

Thanks,
Mike.
