Hi, I have posted the same question to the smb clients list but got no answer.
Basically, smbfs is pretty much unsupported. I eventually upgraded to a 2.6
kernel and used cifs instead of smbfs. Worked without any problems.

Here's a copy of my original mail & followup:

I would still be interested in knowing what exactly is causing the
problem, since
I have seen smbfs work with 2003 machines... Is it a domain controller vs.
non-domain controller thing ?
