JS> What is the actual string you are using to mount?

smbmount //nt/e /mnt -o username=admin,password=secret
smbmount //nt/e /mnt -o username=admin,password=secret,ip=N.N.N.N

fails as described below.
Note! smbclient WORKS with these machine/username/pass!
I conclude it is a smbfs or smbmount problem, not a badly/unusually configured
NT or network problem. Also note that log messages are spewed by smbfs kernel
code.

Tried to mount to locally running Samba:

smbmount //linuxbox/in /mnt -o username=guest,password=

Works fine.

How I can help to investigate this problem?
Please CC me. I'm not on the list.
