A couple more items to point out:

- smb connections through Fedora/Centos no longer work for mount method - 
CIFS is the method that works (i.e. mount -t cifs will work, but mount -t 
smbfs fails - same servers)

- trying to find the winning syntax to permit connecting to the server on 
a domain - mount -t cifs //server/share -o 
username=my_domain_username,domain=windows_domain

Thanks.
