This is to inform the release team of the lack of the smbmount command in the
latest linux-athena release.  Not being able to mount a windows drive on an
athena box is rather disturbing, as it is able to nfs-mount drives.  With
Winathena able to mount CIFS shares, it appears to be a significant lack of
functionality by not including this package by default.

Thank you.
