[linux-cifs-client] FW: UNC in linux bassackwards?

[Tory M Blue]

Hello all..

[localhost cifs]# mount -v -t cifs  //10.5.1.76/temp /tmp/tory -o user=user

Password:  parsing options: rw,user=user

mount.cifs kernel mount options
unc=//10.5.1.76\temp,ip=10.5.1.76,pass=pass,ver=1,rw,user=user 

mount error 22 = Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

What is with mount.cifs making the unc path //x.x.x.x\temp  <<--- should be
/ no?

Kernel Redhat 2.4.21-20
CIFS version both 1.02b and 1.20b (whatever the latest). Same error

Mount.cifs from samba 3.0 (since the CVS  CIFS client links are busted).

Any help with this?

I don't see anything special in my messages file:

Oct  5 23:06:35 default kernel:  CIFS VFS: Error -32 sending data on socket
to server.
Oct  5 23:06:35 default kernel:  CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code =
-5

Thanks this has been driving me nuts all weekend :)
