smbmout using ssh forwarding

[Nadeem Hasan]

Hi,

I apologise for asking this question here. I was not thinking :)
Please bear with me one more time.
Urban, you caught the problem. I should RTFM more carefully next
time. It all works as expected now after I fixed the -o parameters.
Oh BTW, I could connect using //localhost/userxx so that answers
an earlier point raised by Steve Langasek.

Thanks everyone.

Cheers,
Nadeem
