Thanks all.  It sounds as though it has indeed matured since I last tried it.

I had also looked at the "Services for Unix," but I'm trying to avoid dealing with uidNumber and gidNumber schemes.  UF's Active Directory doesn't have any method for us to populate/manage them, and I really don't want to locally define several thousand UIDs.

It's in production on my college' web server.  We use it to mount windows shares that hold the web content.

Subject: mount.cifs stability in current RedHat/CentOS?

Is anyone currently using mount.cifs on RedHat 5.5 or equivalent CentOS builds? Initial testing proves it meets our needs, but I remember stability problems when I last tried it out, which was over six years ago.  Any current information on its reliability would be appreciated.
