I'm curious if anyone has an idea why upgrading the kernel and smb stuff would affect this particular error, it is the same "mount" binary that has been there for a long time, it is the real GNU-mount from util-linux 2.8, too, so it should be fine. I suspect that there is some misdirection in the error message- maybe it means it thinks it wants a "mount" linked with glibc instead of libc5? There is no "mount" version "6"- "mount" is part of utils-linux, which is still only up to something like 2.9o, I think... If anyone wants to look at the source code for smbfs or whatever...
Given that 'smbmount' works when used standalone, I'll just consider this to be solved with a FAQ update... -Tom On Fri, 10 May 2002, Tom Oehser wrote: > Date: Fri, 10 May 2002 07:30:51 -0400 (EDT) > From: Tom Oehser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Stephane Boireau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [tomsrtbt] Smbmount et Tomsrtbt2.0.103... > > > Ah.
