Background: I've got about 5 year experience setting up and running 
FreeBSD on i386, and about 2 years experience running NetBSD and 
OpenBSD on Sun hardware.  I would like to set up FreeBSD on an E250 
machine recently acquired.

I've read through the archives, and see more [or less?] support for 
mount_smbfs.  I will need to utilize this on this machine.  This 
isn't a critical production server, just mainly providing file 
storage and backup for a small network.

Is there solid support for mount_smbfs yet?  Should I install 5.2.1,  
-current, or the snapshot from April 8?  Since the 64bTT issue is 
incorporated into the April 8 snapshot, if I installed that, would 
cvsup'ing ports basically get me where I need to be?  

Thanks!
