Linux --> NT mount problem

[Ken Noel]

I am also experiencing the same problem I think.  When I try to mount and NT 
server fs by not using a local account on the server smbclient and mount 
cannot resolve domain\username syntax.  If mount PDC's and BDC's using local 
admin accounts that works fine.  If I try to mount member servers or 
workstations by using domain account information I cannot mount the fs.

I don't know if this is the same problem but it sounds like it.  I hope I see 
someone post a response that makes it work.
