I've done some testing and verified that 2.6.18 honors uid= and 2.6.8
does not. It looks like this was fixed upstream:
  http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@41752f820crlhkG3FzR1EMmg1OxskA?nav=index.html|src/|src/fs|src/fs/smbfs|related/fs/smbfs/inode.c

So, I plan to use this patch for 2.6.8, and attempt to backport it to
2.4.27. If backporting becomes overly complicated/risky, I'll revert
to using something like Horms' patch. I'll also see about getting a
CVE assigned.

Everyone cool with this plan?
