[linux-cifs-client] CIFS VFS: Error -32 sending data on socket to server.

[David Wuertele]

Using cifs-1.20c-2.4.tar.gz on linux-2.4.18, attempting to mount any
filesystem results in an error:

  # cat /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
  1
  # mkdir /tmp/dave
  # mount -t cifs //rave/streams /tmp/dave -v -o unc=//192.168.5.1/streams,user=guest
  CIFS VFS: Error -32 sending data on socket to server.
   CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -5
  mount: Mounting //rave/streams on /tmp/dave failed: Invalid argument
  # 

This same share can be mounted easily with smbmount.
Any suggestions?
