Hi All,

I just came to try to make an SMB mount (looking to copy my girlfriend's files 
over from her I-hope-soon-to-be-old Windows machine) and in response to my 
attempt to do mount -t smbfs... I get prompted for a password for the remote 
machine (currently blank) and then the system responds with:

ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel
Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page
smbmnt failed: 255

What gives? Did smbfs really get removed from the default kernel on 10.2? I 
find that sufficiently suprising that I suspect something else is amiss, but I 
have two installs (mine--64bit, and hers, 32bit) and they both respond the same 
way.

Oh, for background, smbclient works fine and is able to move files over from 
the windows machine, so I know that the remote end is at least running more or 
less correctly.

If the kernel really lacks this capability. What do I need to do to get it 
back? Can I get it back? (It's going to be a really major loss if I can't!)

TIA,
Simon
