[Samba] Version 3.2.0pre3-9.fc9 smbclient problem

[mrosamba at eastgranby.k12.ct.us]

I recently installed Fedora 9 for use as a squid server.  We use smb_auth
basic authorization and have run into a problem with it.  I believe that I
have tracked the problem down to smbclient when the USER environmental
variable contains the userid and password.  smb_auth.sh in squid uses the
USER environmental variable.  Below are test results for Version
3.0.28a-0.fc8 and Version 3.2.0pre3-9.fc9.

Note that typing in the password or putting it on the command line works
for both versions.  However, USER="smbauth%test1234" fails with Version
3.2.0pre3-9.fc9
