It is broken in the 3.0alpha's and in the CVS HEAD branch. Use smbmount
and smbmnt from 2.2.2 (you can compile 2.2.2 and copy source/bin/smbmount
and source/bin/smbmnt over your 3.0 binaries).

The libsmb code that smbmount (mount.smbfs) uses doesn't expect:
	ERRDOS - ERRmoredata
it wants the NT status code:
	NT_STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED
but smbfs uses dos error codes and that is why smbmount negotiates them.

Connecting the two erros does not make things work properly, there is
still something that fails after that.

The 3.0 code does not contain everything that smbmount (smbfs) needs. I
need to find out if it will be fixed in 3.0 or if smbfs should be changed
(it probably should anyway but that would require you to patch and rebuild
 your kernel).

Stay tuned.
