[Samba] Assistance needed on using mount.smbfs (cifs) to authenticate to samba server with encrypt passwords = No.

[Richard Nelson]

Greetings,

I am working on getting mount.cifs version: 1.11-3.2.4 on debian to
mount a share on a samba server Version 3.0.13-1.1-SUSE on SuSe. This
was working on older debian systems, but upon upgrading some of the
systems to Lenny I am now having trouble mounting shares.  Again, this
was working and I have smbfs installed on the systems (which is what I
used before).

The samba server is set to have encrypt passwords = No and I am
basically authenticating from /etc/passwd+shadow (no smbpasswd file).
The setup is still working fine on non upgraded systems. Only on the
newly upgraded systems is the mounting not working.

The kernel on the clients do have CONFIG_CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH=y

Below is some dmesg info after running the mount.cifs with various /
proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags:
mount.smbfs //172.16.0.8/tech ./mymount -ouser=tech
