Someone else (Jaime Nebrera) made exactly the same claim earlier today, on 
the Experienced Users BB. An Amazing Co-incidence!

The other alternative is to build ReiserFS modules to be compatible with 
the already installed kernel. The latest RedHat kernels come with a 
reiserfs.o module, so it looks quite possible to build it as a module.

Seems not to work? How? Did you install the libsmbpw RPM on your build 
host?

I don't believe that you should. smbpwd.h comes with the libsmbpw RPM. You 
need to have that installed on your build host. The ppp.spec file includes 
a BuildRequires tag to ensure that dependency is met.

"rpm -ba ppp.spec", after ensuring that pre-requisites are met.

Are you sure that it is worth your trouble? Version 5.6 will be in beta 
test soon, and that includes your choice of journalling file system 
(although we are only supporting ext3, you might be able to work out how 
to do a custom install of reiserfs or jfs if you really care).
