samba - Nov 2007 - smbmount fails when trying inside a SSH tunnel

Hello All,

Here is the problem definition:

* I have a Windows XP SP2 system (part of a Samba NT domain). The  
system has a share created in its local disk which has read access for  
everyone.

* I have a Linux (SuSE 9.3) system.

* Using PuTTY, I create a SSH tunnel from the Windows XP to Linux (-R  
4000:localhost:139) to mount the smb shared folder on the Linux system.

* When I do "smbclient -L CMCCLIENT6 -p 4000 -U adminuser", it lists  
the shares fine in the Linux server.

* But, I am not successful in mounting the share using smbmount. Here  
are some of my tries:

ribosome:~ # mount -t smbfs -o username=CMC-NT 
\adminuser,ip=127.0.0.1,port=4000 //127.0.0.1/foldertoshare /shares
Password:
2079: session request to 127.0.0.1 failed (Call returned zero bytes  
(EOF))
2079: session request to 127 failed (Call returned zero bytes (EOF))

ribosome:~ # mount -t smbfs -o username=adminuserribosome:~ # smbmount  
"\\\CMCCLIENT6\foldertoshare" /shares -o  
username=adminuser,ip=127.0.0.1,port=4000
27896: session request to CMCCLIENT6 failed (Call returned zero bytes  
(EOF))
27896: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Call returned zero bytes  
(EOF))
SMB connection failed

ribosome:~ # smbmount "\\\CMCCLIENT6\foldertoshare" /shares -o  
username=adminuser,ip=127.0.0.1,port=4000
27896: session request to CMCCLIENT6 failed (Call returned zero bytes  
(EOF))
27896: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Call returned zero bytes  
(EOF))
SMB connection failed

Anything I am missing?

Thanks,
Prakash
