There is no interdependency at all, when compiling samba you can choose
to build either or both helpers, it is a packaging choice. Most
distributions are slowly killing smbfs and stopping building the
smbmount helper in the samba packages.
I unmounted all cifs connections, then I purged the smbfs package off of my
Ubuntu 7.04 desktop.
I tried mounting connections:
/bin/mount -t cifs -o
credentials=/home/mdlueck/.smbcredentials,uid=mdlueck,gid=mdlueck
//ldslnx01/data /mnt/ldslnx01/data/
And received this type of error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //ldslnx01/data,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Thus, the dependency I was referring to. I do not like to be one to argue.
