I found the problem -- in an earlier post to this veryu list options NETSMB #SMB/CIFS requester options NETSMBCRYPTO #encrypted password support options SMBFS #SMB/CIFS filesystem options LIBICONV These 4 options are necessary from what I can tell in order for SMB* to compile into the kernel properly.
