[Samba] Problems with smbmount

[George]

Hello all,


I run a Debian system and have recently began having problems with
smbmount. I have updated to the latest version only to find that I can't
use smbmount at all. The problem:

$ smbmount //10.0.0.1/Write mnt
timeout connecting to 10.0.0.1:445
1942: session request to 10.0.0.1 failed (SUCCESS - 0)
timeout connecting to 10.0.0.1:445
1942: session request to 10 failed (SUCCESS - 0)
timeout connecting to 10.0.0.1:445
1942: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (SUCCESS - 0)
SMB connection failed

Questions: Why is samba trying to connect to port 445 on the server (this
is blocked by the firewall, but until now has never been a problem.

Does anyone have any ideas? Am I even posting in the right place, or
should I send bug-reports to Debian?


Thanks in advance,

.George Borisov.
