I'm running sarge, off a net install.
uname
Linux devcentral 2.6.8-1-386 #1 Thu Nov 25 04:24:08 UTC 2004 i686
GNU/Linux
dpkg
ii smbfs 3.0.10-1 mount and umount commands for the smbfs
(for kernels >= than 2.2.x)
Can't think of any other useful information about this part of the
install. The only thing I can say is that some of these shares are
across the room and others are across the world, and it seems to show no
discrimination as to which ones drop out.
