Linux noob here, sorry. But now that the SMB capability is included, can you at least mount them from the Terminal (with authentication), without having to load more software?
File Manager connections aren't 100% solid yet anyway. My shares are open but I'm finding the connection to them is sporadic. Last night I could connect to 3 out of 4 shares, but this morning only 1 of them is connecting, even after a reboot of OS2008. The others show in File Manager but report "(no files/folders)".

I'm pretty sure its not Samba support but its uPnP support, so you can only access media sharing.

Well I gave that a try with the normal "mount -t cifs //server/share mountpoint -o domain=mydomain,user=myuser,password=mypass" and it didn't work. It doesn't look like they are using a cifs kernel module. I'm still digging around to see if there are any SMB/CIFS tools installed with OS2008.

Shared Folders
File manager also displays the shared content of available folders that have Server Message Block (SMB) support. They are located in the file tree under shared folders. This root folder is visible when there is a network connection and there are shared directories on the network. You cannot delete, move, copy or rename the shared folders root folder or copy files or folders directly under it. You cannot access password protected shared folders.

FWIW, the CIFS kernel modules for OS2007 don't load under OS2008. Looks like they will need to be re-compiled before there is any SMB/CIFS support with authentication.

It's the last sentence that kills me..
I powered down th 810 and powered up,now I can only see Shared media, not Shared folders.
Any idea what happened?

This was a feature I was looking foward to the most in OS2008, I have a heap of movies I share around the house with Samba for me and my 6 year old and was hoping to be able to sit anywhere in the house with all my music/movies/generic media with the samba share.
Hopefully this gets fixed, I was able to view a non-password samba for about 5 min, but couldn't copy any files and the default media player has crap .avi support, soon as I tried again later the 'shared' folder vanished and I haven't seen it since...
Plus the 'busybox' mount program sh*ts me to tears sometimes with its useless error messages... 'faied to mount'
thats my vent for the night!

Maybe (hopefully) this is still a work in progress, but I'm still a little amazed that the feature would be added without any authentication support. Does everyone really keep their shares wide open?
