i have samba 2.2.8a

itson root # mount -t smbfs -o username=*****,password=***** //apache/share /mnt/apache
ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel
Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page
smbmnt failed: 255

so i look up google for some help, i saw something about maybe the module isnt loaded, so i type modprobe smbfs
itson root # modprobe smbfs
modprobe: Can't locate module smbfs

so im like mabe my kernel isnt compiled with smbfs support,

so i cd in /usr/src/linux
i do make clean, make menuconfig
and i find that the option is already selected under
File Systems --> Network File Systems --> SMB file system support (to mount Windows shares etc.)

so i dont know what to do now.

i also did locate smbfs.o
came up with nothing..

maybe .... there is some other options i have to select in menuconfig to be able to mount samba shares...
please help!

ive always had problems with samba. try smb4k. great program.

well after having the network filesystem checked, Id recompile the kernel wouldnt you?

hum..
why would i recompile,
it was already checked when i compiled the kernel last time.

i saved my .config file, and i loaded it , thats how i was able to see if i compiled it in the kernel or not.
