samba - Apr 1999 - Can't smbmount with samba-2.0

Hello,

I have a script on a production system at work that mounts an NT-exported
share for NFS re-export to some NFS-only clients.  The system was RedHat-4
and samba 1.9, and used the following style command line (names have been
changed to protect the innocent :-)

smbmount //host/share /mnt/point -c HOST -U user -P passwd \
	-u nobody -g nobody -f 666 -d 777

Now the system has been upgraded to RedHat-5 and Linux-2.2, the latter of
which requires samba-2.  The command line above no longer works (or is even
accepted due to changes in aguments).  However, even if I invoke the new
smbmount as:

smbmount //host/share /mnt/point -n HOST -U user

I get instead:

Added interface ip=192.168.x.x bcast=192.168.x.x nmask=255.255.255.0
Server time is Mon Apr 26 08:25:03 1999
Timezone is UTC-7.0
Session setup failed for username=user myname=HOST destname=SERVER
ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
You might find the -U, -W or -n options useful
Sometimes you have to use `-n USERNAME' (particularly with OS/2)
Some servers also insist on uppercase-only passwords

I've tried playing with casing and using the -W and -N options.  What am I
missing?

/usr/bin/smbmount -c //cna/rxcna 'mount /home/httpd/html/cna/rxcna'

is how I invoke this.  Try some quotes like:

	smbmount -c //host/share 'mount /mnt/point -n HOST -U user'
or
	smbmount -c //host/share -n HOST -U user 'mount /mnt/point'
