Re: [webmin-devel] mount.cifs

[Bart K. <ba...@cl...>]

No, its not.

When nounting via smbfs in webmin:

"Error: smbfs filesystem not supported by kernel...."

Kernel version is 2.6.4-1.286 form Fedora Core 2 Test 1

apparently `support for smbmnt is out and support for cifs is in.

Once mounted  via cifs U can see them  in webmin in Disk and Network 
Filesystems  but  shares can't be made permanent nor can be edited.

It might be only Fedora/Red Hat idea during testing, and they will 
revert to using smbmnt in release Kernels.

Still If they decide to stay with cifs.....

curently I mount my shares via shell with following command:

mount -t cifs -o username=administrator //Nexus/Downs 
/home/bart/nexus_downs/
