Not able to access the mount

[DSouza, Santosh]

Thanks Matthew,
Up2date does not work it does not update at all and it throws some
error. I tried downloading and installing Samba ver 3.0.23b from source.
I do not find the smbmount file in the samba/bin nor samba/sbin folders.

I can only see the older version ver 3.0.0 in /usr/bin is available
hence I am not able to get the latest version of the samba mount the
drive.

Any idea why I cannot find the smbmount from the latest samba version.
and is there any chance that I would be get this for the latest version
of samba and hence have this work.

Thanks,
Santhosh

Sorry, I was looking at a RHEL 4 box, not a RHEL 3 box.  I see now that
RHEL 3 
apparently does not install cifs-vfs.

Are you saying up2date is not working?  Or are you saying that the mount
is not 
working, even after you ran "up2date"?

Well, if the problem is with the smbfs.o kernel module, you may need to
install 
a kernel update RPM from Red Hat and reboot.  If the problem is with the

supporting Samba code, then you should be able to install an updated
Samba RPM 
from Red Hat.
