Samba 4 does not appear to support mounting cifs files. It seems that in
Unbuntu 9.04, I either have to install samba (samba version 3) or
samba4. apt-get won't let me install both (unlike Fedora which can
install both simultaneously). From looking at Samba 4 info, samba and
samba 4 should be able to work together. In Ubuntu 9.04, if I try
install smbfs, it wants to uninstall samba 4.
