Hi I need to mount various smb exported shares (ssh forwarded on different ports) on a RHEL 5.4 host. Details of the host are => ========================================================================================================== [vbg@mail ~]$ uname -r 2.6.18-164.el5 [vbg@mail ~]$ rpm -qa | grep samba samba-common-3.0.33-3.14.el5 samba-client-3.0.33-3.14.el5 [vbg@mail ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga) [root@mail ~]# modinfo cifs filename: /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.el5/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko version: 1.57RH description: VFS to access servers complying with the SNIA CIFS Specification e.g. Samba and Windows license: GPL author: Steve French <sfrench@xxxxxxxxxx> srcversion: 7850E473E371E5343DDEC5B depends: vermagic: 2.6.18-164.el5 SMP mod_unload 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.1 parm: CIFSMaxBufSize:Network buffer size (not including header).

Is is a problem with "mount.cifs.c" (samba-client-3.0.33-3.14.el5) or with cifs.ko (kernel-2.6.18-164.el5) Any help and relevant patches, pointers would be deeply appreciated.
