[linux-cifs-client] Mounting without password?

Hi all,

if a share is accessable for "Everyone" I can mount it using every random
username with no password.

If I do have a user on my Windows machine with no password and a share is
accesable for this user I can't mount it.

Mounting with no password using

 mount -t cifs //10.0.2.10/test1 /mnt/intern -o user="Steven Scholz"

results in "NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED"

Same goes for

 mount -t cifs //10.0.2.10/test1 /mnt/intern -o user="Steven Scholz",pass=
 mount -t cifs //10.0.2.10/test1 /mnt/intern -o user="Steven Scholz",pass=""

Passing a random password shows "NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" which is fair enough.

Is there a way to use usernames without (or emtpy) passwords?

Thanks.
