The patch at

adds support for the CIFS Unix extensions to the 2.4 SMBFS
implementation.
This patch serves a real need: in many places users' homedirs (that
are properly backed up) are on NFS servers, but the sysadmins don't
allow people that administer their own Linux boxes/laptops to
NFS-mount their UNIX homedir, they can only use SMB mounts to access
their homedirs.
But SMB is inconvenient as chmod, symlinks, hardlinks, etc don't work.
Another CIFS implementation is already in the 2.6 kernel, and will
be enabled in FC2.
