Re: Mounting SMB file system

[David Albert <david_albert%comcast.net@localhost>]

Thank you Tsutsui-san!

Given how common the SMB file system is and how often
cobalt NetBSD is used by home and small business users
who typically have SMB file stores, do you think it would
be worth having default SMBFS support in the next kernel
release?

What do others think?

Regards,
Dave
