Hi,

i'm using the latest current kernel and don't manage to mount a samba FS 
from another machine. I get the following error even if i left support 
for CIFS (+nsmd) in the kernel (it is a generic kernel):

ptitchat# mount -t smbfs //oxo/temp /mnt/tmp
Password:
mount_smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device available)

What is strange is that the character devices exist:
ptitchat# ls -l /dev/nsm*
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   0, 88 May 27 18:11 /dev/nsmb
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  88,  0 May 27 18:11 /dev/nsmb0
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  88,  1 May 27 18:11 /dev/nsmb1
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  88,  2 May 27 18:11 /dev/nsmb2
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  88,  3 May 27 18:11 /dev/nsmb3

I tried using samba2 but it doesn't help.

Thanks for your help in advance,

cheers,

Renaud.
