CIFS (Windows Sharing) mounting support in AXP kernel?

Combination View Flat View Tree View
Quick question - is CIFS mounting support compiled in to the AXP kernel?  I think I'd need to enable the capability to use mount.cifs using the capabilities file, but the samba documentation also says the kernel needs to support cifs mounting.  So just checking to see if it does before I jump though the hoops to try and get mount.cifs to work.
 
Thanks!

CONFIG_CIFS is not enabled by default in AXP 1.1.x however you could load it as a 'Loadable Kernel Module' i.e. Advance Feature in AXP. You will also require additional permissions within your authorization file to use this feature.

Hi Steve,
 
I have to package Samba server for mounting support in AXP . I am presently in the state of extracting rpms and resloving dependencies. The list of dependences is increasing as i resolve more dependencies. Is there a easier, better approach or what steps have you taken to package these rpms.
 
These are the inital list of rpm packages i have to extract and repackage into axp
 
glibc-2.7-2
glibc-common-2.7-2
libgcc-4.1.2-33
rpm-4.4.2.2-3.fc8
pam-0.99.8.1-10.fc8
logrotate-3.7.6-1.3.fc8
samba-common-3.0.26a-6.fc8
samba-3.0.26a-6.fc8
 
thanks
