I don't believe so...smbfs was a kernel module that has been removed and
I don't know if the module source even exists in the current kernels as
it has been unmaintained for a long time.

Samba developers replaced it with cifs. I think that Fedora 7 was the
last Fedora to offer smbfs mounts.

smbclient though does seem to use the old protocols.

I tend to discourage the use of 'security = share' (see my other e-mail)
but it's your network.

Now, my suggestion would probably be to stay with the Linux system until
you get things working right there and for that, you can simply stay
with smbclient...

smbclient -L //BARBARA -U barbara # until you can login
smbclient -L //BARBARA # to make sure anonymous user can access
smbclient //BARBARA/Ufficio -U barbara # to make sure barbara can access
smbclient //BARBARA/Ufficio -U nobody # to make sure anonymous can
access

As for the days of using Windows 98 as a file server...they are probably
over though you can use smbclient to access...it's ugly.
