Thanks for your advice on this issue - my main problem was that I had
been using a command like:

smbmount //jmm/cd /mnt/jmm_cdrom/ -I 203.25.143.101 -c wotan -P
topsecret

thinking that smbmount would know that the account from which I was
doing this (root) was equivalent to Administrator on the NT machine
(because of the entry in /etc/smbusers).  Evidently though smbmount
does not take any notice of /etc/smbusers, so you have to explicitly
use "-U username".

Thanks again and all the best.
