[Samba] smbfs mounts cause hangs in kde/gnome

[rich]

Dear JohnT and anyone else.

Thanks for your msg. I left the list, and searched and searched. There doesn't 
seem to be a smbfs list (there's one on sourceforge...with a single ancient 
message in).

Can anyone give any pointers? I wouldn't ask but I'm really stuck, and you are 
most likely to know. 

was it the error messages posted earlier which made you say it was a smbfs 
problem?

Related, I understand that cifsfs (catchy name!) extends smbfs, but I've no 
idea whether smbmount etc. uses it, or whether it makes a difference from the 
user's point of view.

TIA
