Not uninstalled; deprecated. I can still mount the
shares, just with the CIFS filesystem type now.
I guess the latest kernel no longer supports the
smbfs module or something.

I've found other people with similar problems on
google related to the FC4->FC5 upgrade, but I can
actually read the files once the share is mounted;
they just are showing up as with a "206" in my
apache access logs and aren't downloading to the
client browsers...

Thanks,
Walt
