Ugh... I was NOT aware that it was such an ugly beast.
To be honest, I haven't dug very deeply into this. I've been pleased with
the regular samba package, and I simply assumed that a kernal-based
solution would be more effecient than it (memory-usage-wise). Apparently,
though, smfs, is NOT a functional replacement for samba. I stand corrected.

But of course! It's good to know we can all count on this list to rescue
us from our blindness. :-)
