I am running Samba 3.0 on Redhat 9.  I installed Samba from an rpm.  I am
able to authenticate to my native mode Windows 2000 domain controller using
Kerberos, after which I can use the smbclient command with the -k parameter
to attach to a share.  Also, using the following command I can mount a
Windows share:
	mount -t smbfs -o username=MyUser, password=mypassword
//server1/share1 /MyWinShare

I would prefer to mount //server1/share1 using Kerberos credentials, which
the aforementioned command does not.

I tried this command to no avail
	mount -t smbfs -o krb //server1/share1 /MyWinShare

This last command output the following "Warning: kerberos support will only
work for samba servers".  This sounds to me like the smbmount command will
not connect using Kerberos.  I would like to use Kerberos as opposed to
NTLM.  Any suggestions?
