I noticed there was a 1.9.18 smbfsx package. Just checked the Unstable
packages and there's a 2.0.3. I assume that's the one I want?
Downloading it now.

On a semi-related question: If I add an unstable site to my dselect
sources, it upgrades to ALL the unstable ones. Is there an easy way to
get it to keep to the latest stable, unless specified? At the moment I'm
just installing the unstable ones manually. (ie; download then dpkg -i)

Do you know if autofs works with Samba mounts now?
