No, that is not enabled, but I can't find the option in the .config of 
2.4 or 2.6.
But this makes my question why does the option CONFIG_SMB_UNIX makes 
some the configuration options and some of the command line options 
obsolete. Especially when they are so 'handy' when you want to share 
some files.
