Not broken per se.  Hrrm, I see a mention of this in CURRENT's UPDATING
but not in 6.1's.  

I ~think~ you might have to include 

options   NETSMBCRYPTO 

and rebuild your kernel.  I believe that in CURRENT, you simply have to
kldload smbfs (but on my CURRENT box I had no need of mounting an NTFS
share, so I don't know).  Here is the entry in CURRENT's UPDATING.



20060305:
        The NETSMBCRYPTO kernel option has been retired because its
        functionality is always included in NETSMB and smbfs.ko now.



I've lost track of whether the discussion was on the CURRENT or STABLE
list, and had thought that it was fixed in both.   I'm only posting this
rather unhelpful information in case no one with a better memory or more
knowledge sees it.  At any rate, on my PRERELEASE boxen, the problem was
fixed by adding the NETSMBCRYPTO option to the kernel. 

You could try kldload-ing smbfs first to see if it helps.  Check the
archives of STABLE and CURRENT for this month, the dicussion was on one
of them.  

I repeat, I'm only posting this in case no one with more knowledge of
the situation sees your post.
