Note: this question is not "what do I use instead of smbfs" it's "how do I get smbfs working?" FAQs read, searches done, not interested in CIFS since the server doesn't speak it. I need to get data off a machine which speaks only SMB, so I'm looking for ways to do that. I have two servers which write logs I need, and I'm tired of using an old FC1 box to do it. Surely core functionality like SMB hasn';t really been removed, has it?

You were right the first time. The smbfs drivers have been replaced by the cifs drivers. The cifs drivers will work just fine with older systems. Give it a shot.

CIFS and SMB are (relatively) the same thing. It is reasonable to think of it this way: "The smbfs driver has been renamed cifs."

Good Luck!
