Use cifs if possible (that is, if you are running any 2.4 or 2.6 kernel that was released in the last year or two, *and* you aren't talking to win98 or earlier). cifs is the next generation smbfs, and is at this point superior in just about every way (IMNSHO). Of course, YMMV. For example: smbfs needs to be remounted if there is even the slightest hiccup in your networking -- and with cifs I am able to suspend with files open on a SMB share, and when I resume, I don't even need to re-open the file! It seems that smbfs is not being actively maintained other than security bugfixes. I might be wrong on this, but I don't think so. -Ian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
