Sorry, I could not find an example on the man page on this particular
machine.

Aplologies for not posting the output.  Here it is:

Using smbclient works:

[shawn at sambaclient1 shawn]$ smbclient //testtech/shawn -U shawn
Password:
smb: \> ls
  .                                  DA        0  Thu Mar 11 11:53:32 2004
  ..                                 DA        0  Thu Mar 11 11:53:32 2004
  New Folder                          D        0  Thu Mar 11 11:53:32 2004
 
                49580 blocks of size 65536. 48830 blocks available
smb: \> quit

Using smbmount fails.  I am unsure how to install smbmnt as suid root:

[shawn at sambaclient1 shawn]$ smbmount //testtech/shawn /home/shawn/mnt
username=shawn uid=shawn gid=shawn fmask=0755 gmask=0755 workgroup=tech rw
Password:
smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (503,503)
smbmnt failed: 1

Attempted as root:

 [root at sambaclient1 root]# smbmount //testtech/shawn /home/shawn/mnt
username=shawn uid=root gid=root fmask=0755 gmask=0755 workgroup=tech rw
