Account lock out issue with cifsfs ?

[Steven French]

My guess is that cifs behavior is similar to Windows, although a little
hard to prove due to differences in mounting and vfs operations.

Part of the problem testing this is that specifying the wrong (old)
password can give you guest logon depending on server configuration.
