[CentOS] Apple hfs mounting help. OT maybe?

I am running a CentOS 3 server with a kernel version -2.4.21-40. I typically 
use Webmin to accomplish mounting varied filesystems, but this one has me 
buffaloed.

We have a Thecus N5400 that was mounted on a Mac and a ton of data was 
written to it. All of the data was placed in yearly folders with 
content-related folders below the yearly folders.

When I mount this through Webmin as an smbfs mount, all I see are these 
files that look something like .Apple01 and some index files. (sorry this 
was done yesterday, I couldn't leave the network configured and in place to 
connect to the N5400, and don't remember exactly what it showed). So I 
assume this is the way the Mac wrote the filesystem.

When I try to mount it as an Apple hfs, I get a message that the fs type is 
not supported by this kernel.

Might anyone have a clue as to how I can get this mounted to show me the 
real data the way it looks on the Mac. All I really need to do is to change 
the mod recursively so that older yearly folders are read only. The web 
interface for the N5400 has this option, but it only works on the top level 
yearly folder and not the secondary folders below.

Thanks for any help and I apologize for what could be OT. I guess it depends 
on how it is answered.
