I am pretty sure my original kernel had cifs built into the kernel. I also have samba installed |

in the machine. |

I thought I could give a newer kernel source a try with cifs built as a kernel module. However, |
| 10 |
modprobe doesn't seem to see it. Perhaps it is already loaded by default? |

This is the error message that I get when I do not specify a password. |

~ # mount -t cifs //192.168.1.101/temp /mnt/arieltmp/ -o user=transfer |

mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system |
| 23 |
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) |

Thanks for the advice. |
