Hi:

        On my FreeBSD-4.9 Stable box I use the following kernel conf and
smbfs works well.

options         NTFS                    #NTFS Support
options         SMBFS                   #
options         NETSMB          #
options         NETSMBCRYPTO    #
options         LIBMCHAIN               #
options         LIBICONV                # 

I'm wondering if you are trying this on a uniprocessor box or and SMP box.
To my knowledge, smbfs has always been broken on SMP. This is old:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/51389 and I don't know if it
has been fixed. 

I'll see if my DragonFly box smbfs works when I get home tonight. IIRC the
kernel conf I used was pretty much the same one as my 4.9-Stable. I do know
that using Nautilus on the DFly box was a no-go with Samba unless I turned
off the NTLM encryption (which would break support for Windows boxen).
