smbfs vs. cifs

[djmcke]

Hi all, 
Perhaps this is a FAQ but a Googled for a bit with no luck.
On Linux I do:

  mount -t smbfs -o username=Administrator,password=**** //winbox/c /mnt/winbox/c

This works pretty well, but sometimes files "disappear".  If I do:

  ls /mnt/winbox/c/full/path/to/file

I get file not found.
So I thought I'd try out cifs -- its supposed to be more advanced:

  mount -t cifs -o username=Administrator,password=**** //winbox/c /mnt/winbox/c

This basically works but the permissions on files I copy from Windows to Linux are
crazy.  I am using Fedora Core 2.  Is CIFS ready for prime time?  TIA
