Actually, I think it does. Socket creation and setup in smbfs was
essentially offloaded to userspace so as long as libsmbclient supported
it, it did too. I never really messed with it though so I can't vouch
for its robustness.

The point is moot though since RHEL5 didn't ship with smbfs enabled.

RHEL5 and RHEL6/mainline handle the uid= option however.
