Bug Description
Binary package hint: samba
cifs module does not implement yet kerberos authentication.
since smbfs is not supported in hardy anymore, there is currently no method to mount a cifs volume using kerberos anymore.

This is a MASSIVE showstopper for many people. cifs doesn't mount things that smbfs used to, and smbfs is now just a pointer to cifs. So now there is no way to mount network shares if they are kerberos-auth only.
This, in effect, renders previously perfectly-working Linux machines on a corporate network *completely* *useless*. It's very frustrating.
