[PATCH] smbfs bug fix

2005-03-15 Thread Pavel Fedin
Current smbfs has a bug: you can't supply "user, noauto" flags for it in /etc/fstab. smbmount tool expands this to "noexec, nosuid, nodev, user, noauto" and smbfs rejects all arguments because it doesn't know any of these keywords. This patch fixes it. It introduces these arguments to the smbfs w
