I am building an embedded linux box with a samba client. I have samba successfully compiled and running. I've built smbmount only to realize that it smbfs is deprecated in favor of cifs.

All I need is to mount a windows share. My box is not acting as a samba server, just mounting shares.

So... is mount.cifs the correct one?

Also, there is a cifs kernel module (at least with 2.4.34, which is what I am working with). Do I need that?

(I'm a bit paranoid since this box will be shipped 3,000 miles and installed, so it's not like I can reach out and fix it....)

Thanks,

--Yan

Linux stuff has made big progress over the competition. When things sit and 
don't start right away, we have a watch, and those poor guys have to settle for 
an hourglass.
