smbfs / cifs in kernel 2.6.1

[Aaron Bennett <aaron bennett olin edu>]

Hi --

I was disapointed, at first, to see that smbfs is not in the stock 
kernel, then I found this bug report that indicates that it has been 
replaced by cifs. 

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116090

Fair enough.  I don't mind changing to a different command.  However, I 
can't get cifs stuff to mount....

Here is a mount command that works perfectly with smbfs:
mount -t smbfs -o username=user/DOMAIN //windowsbox/share 
/mnt/windows/windowsbox/share

If I change smbfs to cifs, I get this result:
mount: Connection refused

What am I missing here?  Did I screw up the syntax for the mount, or is 
cifs not actually a drop-in replacement for smbfs?  The machine I'm 
trying to connect to is part of an Active Directory realm, but the AD is 
in "mixed mode" and I have verified -- by rebuilding the kernel with 
smbfs support -- that that command works with the same kernel, same 
machine, FC 2 test.
