mount_smbfs and NETSMBCRYPTO

[Derrick Ryalls]

Greetings,

I have recently run into a problem mounting windows shares on my 6.1 Beta 2
laptop.  smbfs is loaded via loader.conf, but I get an error message stating
that encryption support is not available.  According to this thread:

http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2006-02/msg00556.html

I now need to add

options NETSMBCRYPTO

To my kernel config to get encryption support added for mount_smbfs?

I am currently running a generic kernel and I have never needed to do this
in the past just to mount a windows share.  Has something changed recently
and I will need to do a buildworld to fix this?

I tried kldload netsmbcrypto but I guess the file does not exist.  Is there
any way for me to mount a windows share without doing a buildworld?  I did
not pull sources when I built the machine as I intended to just run generic
and load anything extra via loader.conf.

Thanks for any pointers on this.
