The parm netbiosname is one word, not two (no space) and the netbiosname 
does not matter if netbios-over-tcp (RFC1001) is not being used.  To use 
netbiosname you should force port 139 by adding 
        port=139
in the options list (also you probably don't want to use quotes " after 
-o)
                 -o user=na,domain=HOMEXCORP,netbiosname=linux,port=139

Yes, although I am not sure which versions it is broken on because the 
code is not complete - and we know it is broken if the server does not 
negotiate "raw ntlmssp" (which are server in active directory will not 
negotiate).  So it is good it ExtendedSecurity is forced off by default in 
proc until someone has time to test/debug through it.
