Windows Workgroup, private network with a Windows Vista PC sharing a folder
for full access to a specific user name.  The share is browsable and
readable from other PCs on the network.

I can mount the share on linux (Debian /Ubuntu) with no errors BUT have no
permissions on the mount point once mounted (see below).

# mkdir data
# mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxx,password=xxxx //CHEDDAR/data  data
# ls -l
?---------  ? ?        ?           ?                ? data

Get a strange "SUCCESS" error when smbclient trys make the connection to
list the share with same loging it was created with.

# smbclient -U xxxx -L //CHEDDAR
Password: xxxxx
session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0

But...I can get an anonymous connection to the server.

# smbclient -L //CHEDDAR
