I don't know whether it supports stat(2) and friends needed for directory lookups. If yes, great. If not, ... Because, portalfs is an ideal place to put the SMB filesystem in. That way smb-portald can take care of security problems: it knows what a uid does its client have, and can log him in the net. That way not everyone gets to be logged into the net (which would be the case if smb-fs were mounted any other way.) What do you think? /Marino
