The ebuild is not broken, you just didn't read what it told you

"The mount/umount.cifs helper applications are not included anymore.
Please install net-fs/mount-cifs instead."

Yes, sorry for the noise.

Yet, mount-cifs is not stable yet :-(


Anyway: the other problem still remains. For some reason, i cannot
access my samba shares :-(

Samba 3.0.24 works like charm. Just switched back to it.

Yeah, but i've got no time right now, to analyse the problems with 3.0.27a.

I've run it in debug mode and so on - but i found nothing suspicious.
Actually two of my shares work - and another one (the important one)
does not.
Very strange!
