Re: use smbfs instead of cifs
I found the way.
download samba source
# build
./configure --with-smbmount --sysconfdir /etc/samba --with-lockdir /var/cache/samba --with-piddir /var/cache/samba/ --with-configdir /etc/samba
make
# backup old helpers
sudo mv /usr/bin/smbmount /usr/bin/smbmount.original
sudo mv /usr/bin/smbumount /usr/bin/smbumount.original
sudo mv /sbin/mount.smbfs /sbin/mount.smbfs.original
# copy new
sudo cp /mnt/sda3/ilias/samba-3.0.28/source/bin/smbmount /usr/bin/smbmount
sudo cp /mnt/sda3/ilias/samba-3.0.28/source/bin/smbumount /usr/bin/smbumount #
sudo cp /mnt/sda3/ilias/samba-3.0.28/source/bin/smbmnt /usr/bin/smbmnt
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/smbmount /sbin/mount.smbfs
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/smbumount /sbin/umount.smbfs
Now mount -t smbfs will use the smbfs kernel module, not the cifs. Just to explain, I do all this to connect to a server that supports plain text password authentication.
